Before you download and use any of the language packs, please read these known problems:

  1. The language packs contain translated string for all the Eclipse Foundation Projects. Unfortunately, you do not have all the Eclipse Foundation Projects installed in your IDE. Thus, when you start Eclipse, the error log will accumulate warnings like these:
    • Bundle ... was not resolved.
    • And below that, a sub-message of:
    • Missing host ...
    • e.g., Missing host org.eclipse.wst.core_2.1.0
    • There will also be an error:
    • One or more bundles are not resolved because the following root constraints are not resolved:
    • with the same sub-messages
  2. Not all of the existing Eclipse Foundation Projects are included in Babel yet. If you encounter a project that you would like to help translate, tell that project's leaders.
  3. Not all languages are included in Babel yet. Request an additional language through Bugzilla.


Using the language packs

To use a language pack, launch Eclipse with the -nl parameter:

eclipse.exe -nl fr_FR

Replace fr_FR with the locale you wish to use. See launching Eclipse for more details.
