David E. Jones commented on OFBIZ-1442:
---------------------------------------
There are certainly trade-offs, but I still think that the combined files are
better and easier to maintain and manage than separate ones.
For Christian's points:
1. the XML files will get pretty large but the processing time should still
scale linearly; if not there is a bug somewhere
2. I guess this is a matter of perspective, but if I were adding a new language
it would be nice to not have to have multiple files open and either jump around
to those files to get the original labels or to be forced to use some sort of
tool to manage the multiple files; also having multiple files to review and add
to increases the chances of getting a property key wrong (which has happened a
few times), and even worse on the maintenance side it makes it really prone to
inconsistent property sets in different files unless a tool is used to help
keep them consistent, and this is currently a bigger problem in ofbiz
3. if someone makes changes to UTF characters in a non-UTF-aware editor
wouldn't the diff on the commit be huge, and result in lots of unintended line
changes that would be fairly easy to spot?
