RE: [babel-dev] Google Summer of Code
|
For the Messages Editor plugin, there are a few suggestions I can make. Here are a few:
Proposal 1: Add the option to tie the editor to online translation services to help people with their translation efforts. Were upon providing a value for one of your key in whatever language, the editor can suggest translations for the missing translations for the same key. It will of course not be meant as a replacement for human translation, but something to help out.
Proposal 2: Add command completion for strings that match message keys. Either automated or upon pressing CTRL-space when we start typing a string, we can present a drop down of already defined keys, with the corresponding value next to it (in the language or the running IDE instance, or configurable) to really help out. Hugues Malphettes mentioned once wanting to add such a feature and he may be working on this already. I would have to confirm with him first (maybe he could mentor if he is not done with it).
Proposal 3: Have the option to tie the internationalization feature of Eclipse (where it detects strings and offer to have then in ResourceBundles) with the Messages Editor. Basically, have the option to automatically add non-internationalized strings into a MessagesEditor.
Proposal 4: Detect non-internationalized strings in more than just Java files (JSP, Velocity templates, etc). Make this configurable (type of files, patterns to detect strings, etc). This one can work with Proposal 2 and 3 above.
Thank you,
Pascal Essiembre

That is a great idea Denis.. and sign me up for being a mentor. The two
things that spring to mind that need doing are voting and a user
feedback page (showing stats your translation progress).
