[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Binding label from command addition

[Ed Merks <merks@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ben,

My keyboard calls the key Delete in one place and "Del" in another (as 
with Insert and Ins).  I believe all these will appear in a .properties 
file somewhere and would be translated if you had the translation 
fragments installed (which aren't available for Eclipse 3.3).  Generally 
translation is done by using %<key> in the plugin.xml, specifying 
Bundle-Localization: plugin in the MANIFEST.MF, and the defining that 
<key> in plugin.properties.
