This is a good question for the planning
council and the Babel project I suppose. I know for the Eclipse Platform
we do occasionally make message catalog changes for service releases, but
we try to avoid structural changes if at all possible (add/removing keys,
or changing message parameters). This ensures "compatibility"
of language packs across service releases. However, there are always a
few cases where these structural changes are required, so we just try to
keep this to a minimum. I think translators usually have tools available
to "diff" the message catalogs across different releases and
perform the necessary incremental updates. I'm not sure if Babel has this
capability though...

[cross-project-issues-dev] Adding NLS
resources (externalized Strings) for
Galileo SR ?
Hi all,
I'm wondering if there is any requirement
/ recommendation whether NLS resources (externalized Strings) can be added
for a project participating in a Galileo Service Release?
There is a "should do" requirement
to "freeze the UI sufficiently early" but it does not talk about
the service releases. Is Babel going to create any new NLS packages for
the SR?
Thanks,
