Description Pierre-Charles David CLA 2016-09-20 11:52:34 EDT 
Since support for I18N was added to the VSM part of Sirius (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=459993), the VSM editor shows only the raw i18n keys in the main tree (e.f. "%viewpointName" as label). It should make some effort to locate the "closest" .properties file and use it to show the default translation (typically from the plugin.properties file) in addition to the translation key.

A more straightforward change which, IMO would be acceptable, could be to display the "name" attribute (which is meant to be used as a way to identify an element within its parent) in those cases. Or both with a syntax like "name [%label]"
