Re: [platform-help-dev] NLS and Eclipse help system
|
Just a quick question. Since docs can get to be kind of big are fragments
also an option for adding NL documentation or must "plugins" be used?
Otherwise you'd have to
1) ship all the translated docs if you believe the plugins are units
atomic units (which according to the update manager I believe they are) .
2) or only install pieces of plugins which doesn't make sense I think.
For WSAD I believe the docs are quite large (around 10-20 meg per lang if i
remember correctly) That's kind of a large footprint if we ship 9
languages. A 100+ megabytes plugin seems unwieldy :-).
Thanks,

Eric,
Yes. The localization scheme for zipped documentation is the same as for
unzipped. The zip would be in plugins/yourplugin/nl/zh/CN/doc.zip
In the infocenter scenario (only, not when just launchin help from
Eclipse), help uses request.getLocale() as a mechanism on deciding which
language is to be served to the user.
If you want to override the locale that the user's browser sends, you are
free to do it. Servers has different mechanisms that allow to do this.
For example in Tomcat 4, you can define a filter that will massage the
query as you like, before it gets to the web application. You could define
a URL paths for each language. They would all point to the same infocenter
application, but would have a filter set a Locale on a query differently.
