Should consider for 2.1.1
The window that is being talked about is the SWT DirectoryDialog. Reassigning the report to SWT for comment and copying VI.
The DirectoryDialog is a native dialog. In order to see the text in the correct language, you must make sure your locale is correctly configured. SWT does not provide the strings displayed on these buttons and there is therefore nothing to NLS on our part.

Lynne, it looks like you have looked into this. Am assigning it back to you as you have more context than I do.
Can this be closed? If not then it needs to be resolved for 2.1.1.
Closing. As indicated in comment #5, the locale has to be installed correctly. If the locale is installed correctly, but the strings are still not showing up correctly, this is a platform problem and any solution will have to be provided by SWT, not Platform UI.
Should add the following to the readme for 2.1.1 and 3.0. Pending confirmation from Cam as to whether this is also still a problem on Windows. Missing translations for certain dialogs under GTK You may find the translations of some dialogs such as File selection, Folder selection, New Folder, Delete, rename , etc... partially translated when running the NLS versions of eclipse or Websphere Studio Workbench on GTK 2.0.6 or GTK 2.2. These screen selections are coming from GTK, not eclipse or the workbench. For further information, please refer to this web site: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/. Gnome Bug 114658 was crested to report this problem.
Reopening because the PR is not invalid...
... it's a problem with the OS.
Added this to 2.1.1 release notes: Missing translations for certain OS dialogs (Linux GTK only) OS dialogs for selecting files or folders are only partially translated on GTK 2.0.6 or GTK 2.2. These dialogs and the untranslated messages come from GTK, not from Eclipse. This is a known bug in GTK. (bug 38248)
I am unclear as to why a bug report was filed against Gnome. I have logged into RedHat 9.0 Gnome with simplified chinese and the FileDialog is correct - all strings provided by the OS are translated. If the locale is correctly set, GTK+ does the right thing.
We are using RedHat 8.0 with GTK 2.2., not RedHat 9.0. Please contact Tod Creasey for more information. This is the level of GTK that we use for all our DBCS testing and TVT.
