[news.eclipse.technology.babel] Re: XWT and i18n

["Yves YANG" <yves.yang@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thie simple i18n is supported. But the variables aren't yet supoorted. There 
is an example in the tests plugin 
org.eclipse.e4.xwt.tests/src/org.eclipse.e4.xwt.tests.i18n

It is already used in e4 contact demo. Uou can find the source 
dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse/e4/org.eclipse.e4.xwt/examples

In fact, it uses XAML's xStatic extension keyword to get the value of static 
field defined in resource bundle class

<Button Text="{x:Static java:Messages.title}" />

Best regards
