User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: 3.5.0

The -nl command-line flag is dandy for switching Eclipse between localisations, but some of the UI elements (tab labels) seem to be cached incorrectly across sessions.

If Eclipse is initially launched under a given language (say, French) and the next session is switched to another (say, English), the UI initially displayed has a few tabs still in the first language (in the attached example, the Hierarchy, Declaration, and Problems views; Tasks also suffers from this).  Some revert to the expected English once clicked on (Hierarchy, Declaration), some need a stronger refresh (Tasks, Problems): the views must be closed and re-opened to recover their proper language labels.

In one of my Eclipse copies, I cannot get the Problems tab to revert to English despite numerous language switches and IDE restarts (maybe because there are some problems loaded in the tab?).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a fresh 3.5 SDK in some directory
2. Expand the French language pack (BabelLanguagePack-eclipse-fr_3.5.0.v20090620043401.zip) into the dropins sub-directory
3. Launch Eclipse using the command-line flag "-nl fr"
4. Exit Eclipse
5. Launch again using the command-line flag "-nl en"
