Request for new feature that refreshes all the tabs in workbench after language setting changes and workbench opens in the same workspace. 1. Suppose the IDE is in Chinese. 2.Switch the language to be English. We use the following command to switch language: D:\IBM\SDP70\eclipse.exe -nl en_US -product com.ibm.rational.rad.product.ide for RPT and RSA, you can also use the similar command to do this. 3. Check the View's tab. You can find only the focused view's tab change to be the new language. All the other tabs are still in Chinese. 4. Click some view's tab then it will update.
The reason for this is that we remember the tab title on shutdown so that we don't have to load the required plug-ins for non-active editors when the Workbench comes up again. We cannot refresh all tabs at startup since that would cause a delay due to plug-in loading that is probably going to annoy users much more than you are annoyed by the "wrong" tab titles. Can you close all editors (Ctrl+Shift+F4) and open them again?
So if we switch languages all view tabs would get updated back to their default for that language (i.e. we would not respect any calls to set the part title)? It is a feature sized request but do-able. We would not be able to do the same for editors, however. And then there are concerns that we've wiped out part titles, although one can argue that if you're reset your locale you're ready for a lot of changes anyway. PW
Marking P5 since it seems to me that our time is better spent on other bugfixes or features. We'd be happy to look at a patch for this of course.

In opposition to eclipse user is it not unimportant for RCP user. The user must explicit switch language locale and restart application. And after it we have not localized strings in the GUI. It is possible to save locale with then text together in workbench.xml: ... label="View" locale="en" ... If the locale has been changed, the label must be reloaded for new locale.
As per http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Bug_Triage_Change_2009

For the Problems view, the title does not even change when the view is closed and then reopened. Probably because it has allowMultiple="true" and stores a separate name for each instance of the view. At least the default view name should also be updated.

Remy is now responsible for watching the [ViewMgmt] category.
Problem and Tasks views are the two views that don't refresh properly when changing the locale.

It doesn't seem like 'allowMultiple' is the culprit here. I tried the 'Properties' view (multi-able since 3.5) and 'Console' view and those get updated when I physically click on them. I believe the markers views don't get updated because it directly invokes setPartName(String) method in init(IViewSite, IMemento) by retrieving the value from its memento. So even if the tab creation code gets a localized string back, it'll be overridden shortly after when the memento is read.
