Description Yves Harms CLA 2005-10-19 09:54:30 EDT
This applies to the standard java string externalisation (not the eclipse way).
The "Externalise Strings" Wizard is good, if you just want to externalise the
strings of a plain new project.
But what about existings projects ? I have already localized my app, but now i
have to add additional features (and additional strings). No problem for the
default locale, but what about the properties files for the other locales ?
You have either to fiddle in the additional keys by hand or throw away the
existing translated properties files to copy it from the standard locale (and do
the full translation work once again).

Please add an option to the dialog to select the locale. When selecting a new
locale the wizard should add all missing keys to the corresponding locale file.

Sounds like support for translators to me. Not high priority currently...
Comment 2 Yves Harms CLA 2005-10-20 05:31:58 EDT
Not really for translator but for developers.
It is not the translator who has to add additional keys to the localised
property files.
Comment 3 Dani Megert CLA 2005-11-07 13:25:21 EST
Not planned to add this for now.
