Hi,

There are many many request coming in asking for translations for languages. Many of you know that there's a proposed project named babel which is in incubation and will hopefully fill the gap with 3.4 (Please correct me if I'm wrong here).

I've done the translations of 2 core projects (org.eclipse.jface and org.eclipse.workbench) myself and maintain them in a subversion repository (http://publicsvn.bestsolution.at/repos/java/eclipse-language-packs/). Today I've taken over other languages (it, fr, ...) from 3.2 and

If you care about Eclipse and RCP community and can spare about 10 minutes it would be great to if you could translate and helo me by translating the missing bits new in 3.3.

If you look at the bottom of the language file you'll find a section where all none-translated parts are listed and it would be great if you could file append a patch against the .properties file to the following bug [1], I'll integrate it in my subversion repository afterwards.

If you append a patch please give it reasonable title like:

"Patch workspace_it", "Patch jface_it"

The 2 plugins are the first and most important ones IMHO. If you want me to take over other plugins please tell me which one and I'll add it to my repository. Please don't reply to this message directly with the translations, I'll *only* integrate contributions coming from an offical channel (in this case bugzilla) because then they are by default under EPL and there won't be legal issues when the Babel-Project want to take them over.

Thanks for helping me and many others around the world to localize their products. If the babel project has a CVS-place those contributions could be maintained this would be even better and the sources could be transfered from my respository to eclipse.

Tom
