Eclipse Babel Project Development Meeting: 01/19/2009

Attendees:

• Kit
• Margaret
• Antoine

Minutes:

1. EclipseCon is approaching, I'd like to have a few things cleaned up to give new users a good impression of Babel
2. Language Pack ZIPs
• The Language Pack ZIPs download page is live
• The banner on the Language Pack ZIPs download page is for Eclipse, not Babel
• Denis, is that intentional so it's consistent with download page of other Eclipse projects, or it's a bug?
• Looks like the languages are not in any order, I'd like them to be in alphabetical order, so it's easier for users to find their language
3. Language names not consistent throughout Babel
• We have different ways to present the language name on translation progress page, translation page, stats page
• For the different variations of English, we use AustralianEnglish and CanadianEnglish
• For the different variations of Chinese, we use ChineseSimplified and ChineseTraditional
• I prefer to have the language in front and the variation desc at the end so the languages are grouped together
• We have a few options to choose from: EnglishCanadian, English(Canadian), English-Canadian
4. Progress on integrating p2 meta data generator and XSLT transform script?
• Antoine has the metadata generator part working, working on the XSLT part
5. "Unspecified" project version
• We don't include the "Unspecified" project version translations in any of the language packs
• I think it's a little confusing
• If we don't have a need for that, I'd like to remove them
• Comments?
