Oh, you like to get this into eclipse help, over read this.

Independent from uDig I'll try to setup a test project to work with generated help from sphinx using pot files. I've no idea whether it would work and whether potential translators understand the context for the phrases to translate... > > Jody > Frank _______________________________________________ User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS (uDig) http://udig.refractions.net http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/udig-devel
