[eclipse.org-architecture-council] [Bug 262865] New: Consider i18n patches against maintenance branches
|
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=262865
Product/Component: Community / Architecture Council
Summary: Consider i18n patches against maintenance branches
Product: Community
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: Architecture Council
AssignedTo: eclipse.org-architecture-council@xxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: sflaniga@xxxxxxxxxx
The Galileo release train has a "Must Do" to participate in Babel/Localisation.
It's true that Ganymede did not have this as a goal, but some accommodation
for localisation issues would be very helpful to people interested in making
stable Eclipse projects available to international users, and those that are
trying to build localised products on top of Ganymede. (After all, Galileo
won't be a stable base for a while.)
The Babel project already supports localisation for Ganymede projects where
possible, but a number of the Ganymede projects haven't had their strings
externalised into .properties files. This means that those strings can't be
translated. I (and possibly others) would be willing to work on
externalisation, but at present there is no guarantee that externalisation
patches would be considered for a maintenance branch. See bug 215116 for an
example.
Please consider giving internationalisation a higher priority, not just for
future development but for stable/maintenance branches too!
