I'm running Eclipse Juno SR1 on a French 64-bit Windows 7 machine. But it doggedly remains in English. I've tried "C:\Eclipse_64\eclipse.exe -nl fr": still in English. I've also tried adding "osgi.nl=fr" to the C:\Eclipse_64\configuration\config.ini file: still in English. No error messages, either. Can anyone verify this? I'll try tonight on another similar machine.
Where did you get your fr language packs from? PW
(In reply to comment #1) > Where did you get your fr language packs from? Nowhere. I just deployed Eclipse Juno SR1. I searched eclipse.org's downloads for a language-specific version, didn't find any. I invoked "Help: Install New Software", found nothing about language. I scoured the Window:Preferences for language settings, found nothing. I searched help.eclipse.org, found nothing (I'm excluding hits about localizing an application, using markup languages and so forth). If there is an established procedure for localizing one's interface, it is damnedly obscure. I expected Eclipse to at least complain about the -nl or osgi.nl instructions given it, at best offer to fetch whatever is missing in the installation. But no, my instructions just get shrugged off.
It is not ignoring it. I don't even think the platform can tell if translations are installed for each and every plugin (remember you can install an aribitary number of plugins). You get translations for eclipse plugins from http://www.eclipse.org/babel/ and p2 repos for Juno are at http://download.eclipse.org/technology/babel/update-site/R0.10.0/juno
I added "Babel Language Pack Update Site for Juno" (http://download.eclipse.org/technology/babel/update-site/R0.10.0/juno), as found on http://www.eclipse.org/babel/downloads.php, to my Available Software sites (Help: Install New Software: Available Software Sites). I was then able to select the pertinent "Babel Language Packs for Eclipse" for installation (fr and en-CA in this case). After an automatic restart, I *finally* had what I wanted. My points are: * "Babel Language Pack Update Site for Juno" is not included by default in the Available Software Sites * Eclipse does not complain about missing language packs (or attempt to fix the problem) when the -nl command-line option is used (nor when osgi.nl is specified in config.ini) * http://eclipse.org/downloads/ should include at the very least a link to http://www.eclipse.org/babel/downloads.php --i.e., in the right-hand panel, add "Language Packs" to the "Related Links"
(In reply to comment #3) > It is not ignoring it. What is your definition of "ignoring"? In my book, having no reaction whatsoever to an explicit user instruction is "ignoring".
You can open a bug against Babel about participating in the Release Train, that they don't now is why no language packs appear in Juno. PW
