Hi

I have created a fragment project for internationalizing my plugin.
But I do not know how to test where the nl plugin created works..
Had a look at the tutorial "How to Test your Internationalized plugin" but
could not get much.

Thanks in advance
Sania

Sania,
Simplest way to test nl plugin is to launch your product with -nl
<language> and see if all looks ok.
Automated testing, i.e. automatic verification of properties files is I
think in scope of Babel project, which has recently started.

Hi,

While running your application , open Run Dialog ---> Arguments tab-->
set the program argumnet for nl option ..

For example, for French set fr_FR like -nl fr_FR.. and run ur
application...

Thanks,
Sania

Yes.. Sania, I did the same for French. Now my question is about double
byte characters handling. Example, Japanese letters are Double byte
characters, I am not able to save them in normal .properties files as we
used to for English and French, means we need to handle them in special
manner.

Please reply me.

Thanks,
Chandra M

The japanese chars are saved in a properties file, as normal. Download
the NL pack from
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/L-3.2.1_ Language_Packs-200609210945/
and check it out.

As for how to enter them ... if you are editing and can type the real
chars from the keyboard, that works. These language packs simply escape
the chars in the properties file. ex:

CloseAllAction_text=\u3059\u3079\u3066\u9589\u3058\u308B(&am p;L)
