  4. Difference between Editors:
    1. Pascal's editor in the IDE - 'Messages Editor'
      1. Switched it to Message editor when he contributed it
      2. Wants to eventually make it support more than just property files (xml, etc)
    2. Nigel's editor in runtime - 'Runtime Translation Editor'
  5. We need to have a release plan:
    1. Our project will have issues because we’re dealing w/ translations
      1. I.e. At GA time we may have 80% of the translations times or 90% a month later, etc.
      2. Kit will discuss with Bjorn for more advice
      3. Need to discuss this during EclipseCon
