Hi All,

no much expirience with ganarated code and I was wondering how can be done
that?

Eric,

What needs to be internationalized? Anything we expect needs to be
translated is already generated to strings in .properties files...

Hi everybody,

I generated my model with EMF.
It generated some _UI_PropertyDescriptor_description and so on in the plugin.properties file.

Now I created fragment of my plugin, which has also a plugin_de.properties, which contains all the translated strings and also the plugin name (bundle-localization=plugin in manifest file).

When I start my app in german language, the bundle name is loaded correctly from the properties file, but all strings are still loaded from the english version.

What have I done wrong? Or is there a bug in model generation?
I used EMF 2.7.0.

Andreas, 
 
I'm not sure how fragments work (that's a question to ask on the
platform newsgroup) but I do know that translations in general do
work when set up correctly because IBM has been using translated
versions for many languages... 
 
You could set a breakpoint in EMFPlugin to see by getResourceBundle
isn't returning the German translation. 
 
 public String getString(String key, boolean translate) 
 { 
 ResourceBundle bundle = translate ? resourceBundle :
untranslatedResourceBundle; 
 if (bundle == null) 
 { 
 if (translate) 
 { 
 bundle = resourceBundle =
Platform.getResourceBundle(getBundle()); 
 }

Where from do you know that it is loaded?

Thanks for your anwers.
After some debugging I relaized that I had the class, that extends EMFPlugin twice in different packages.

When the plugin was loaded one of them was instanciated and the other one was used for
the location of strings. So getPluginRecourceLocator returned always null.

After removing one of the classes it worked.
Seems that there was some old generated stuff that was not deleted.
