Translator had a question about the need of certain strings to be externalized. Key values are in English in the Keys Preferences page. Steps to recreate: 1. Select Window -> Preferences 2. Select Workbench -> Keys 3. Select any item in the Commands box 4. Press the pull down button next to the Key secuence field Question from translator: We observed that the keys are displayed in English, however there is a file named: eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench\workbench_jar\org\eclipse\ui\internal\c ommands\keysupport.properties that seems to contain the translation for the keys. Should these keys be translated or should they be displayed in English?
Should consider for 2.1.1
fixed in 2.1.1. translator can now translate keysupport.properties. translator should make sure that no spaces are used in the translation as spaces are used to delimit keystrokes. keeping problem open until i can migrate fix to 3.0
fixed in 3.0
The keysupport.properties has already been translated. Will this fix, make the translations viewable, or is retranslation needed? Note the english file does have spaces in it.
this fix will make the translations viewable. the fix includes an updated properties file which does not have any keys or values containing whitespace. leading and trailing whitespace around keys and values is automatically stripped, so it is not the concern. rather the concern was around a few two word keystroke values such as 'Arrow Up' and 'Arrow Down', etc. these have been renamed 'Arrow_Up' and 'Arrow_Down' until such time as we have a proper widget to insert key strokes wihout requiring text typing. the spaces currently interfere with the text widgets parsing of multiple keystroke keysequences, where each keystroke is delimited by a space.
