Hi,

I have an thought which I think might be just a personal preference 
hence I would like to hear others opinion. WRT to UI i18n resources, 
when adding new strings I would prefer them to be added to the default 
properties file but not to the translations, at least you're actually 
translating. That is, if adding a resource to 
GeoServerApplication.properties like someText=Some Text, adding 
someText=(ES) Some Text to GeoServerApplication_es.properties and 
someText=(DE) Some Text to GeoServerApplication_de.properties, etc. 
seems counter productive to me. But that's because I prefer to rely on a 
tool to perform the translation, ResourceBundleEditor, in which I can 
see at a glance which resources are _missing_. But the above practice 
would prevent that. Instead, I would have to walk over the whole UI 
looking for "(ES)...". Well... or rather just watch out the commit logs 
or grep the GSApp_es.properties itself. So not a big deal, just a 
personal preference. Others might think it's better the way it's being 
done now. Those I encourage to try out the ResourceBundleEditor plugin 
for eclipse if they're doing some translations. You might find it quite 
useful as I do.
Meanwhile, do you think we could agree on keeping from adding 
untranslated resources? Or is there any stronger preference on keeping 
the current practice?

Cheers,
Gabriel
