Hello,

When I put language plugins from Babel project into my RCP target
(version 3.4), they are not taken in my application build. The platform
part of the application is not localized.

I must copy the language plug-ins by hand after the build, to get the
app translated.

What did I get wrong please?

Thanks in advance.

I do, but only as developer (by that I mean: I use Eclipse as developer
only), and the flashing splash screen pops up from time to time, so it
isn’t really usable yet.

That's what I feared: Babel translations are not usable for RCP development.

I'd like to help, but how? I already submitted some french translations,
but the problem is in the packaging: if there were usable language
packs, even with incomplete translations, I'm sure that there would be
much more translation contributions.

It's not clear to me what the problem is yet, so I'm at a loss to know
how to fix it.

The code that builds the update site is here. Have a look:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.babel/s erver/classes/export/generate1.php?root=Technology_Project&a mp;view=log

Hi Denis,

The problem is that there are no Babel language packs available for
download, contrary to what is said on the download page.

There are only update sites, for adding translations from an update
manager inside Eclipse IDE. But this is not what we need for building
translated RCP applications. (Incidentally, even these update sites
break the IDE, as noted on previous threads.)

It is possible to download NL plug-ins from the nightly build update
site with some fiddling (this require to bypass robots.txt, I use "wget
-erobots=off") but this is not acceptable for the average developer.
I also had to write a Python script to get NL plug-ins for all wanted
languages.

Will it be possible to have language packs as specified here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Babel_/_Server_Tool_Specification#Ou tputs

Thanks in advance.

The 'break the IDE' problem is what I would like to solve. Can someone
open a bug with a set of actions to reproduce the problem?

If you write a script that takes the NL plugins and re-packages them
into 'language packs' I will certainly have a look at it. Simply open a
bug against Babel/Server and attach the script.

Thanks!

Here it is:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=241633

IMO, building language packs for Eclipse platform, or at least RCP
runtime, should be a priority, rather than trying to translate every
Eclipse project.

The fact that language packs are not available is discouraging
developers to build apps on Eclipse versions upper than 3.2.

Thanks,

If this worked, then I really want to give it a try. What do you mean by coppying the language plug-ins by hand? And to which folder, the plugins inside the directory of the exported application? I've tried this one but didn't change anything.

Thanks

I'm just posting to inform that I just fixed this. The solution was to add "lib/eclipse/plugins" (the folder where the babel plugins are) to the classpath, in the Runtime tab.
