Hi,
I have a simple RCP application.
I would like to provide translatable menus.
Now, I use the following ActionBarAdvisor and
translate menu labels via an org.eclipse.osgi.util.NLS
class I have named ApplicationMessages.
Fine.
Recently I discover Eclipse NLS language packs.
I install the SDK language pack and start Eclipse IDE
with the argument -nl fr and much to my delight
the Eclipse IDE is in French.
Now I launch my RCP application with -nl fr and of
course my menus have not been translated to French.
What must I do to take advantage of vast resources
of the Eclipse NLS language packs in my RCP application?
More specifically, how can I use the NLS language packs
to translate my menu labels?
Umm, most specifically, the File and Help menu labels, for instance,
have already been translated in the language packs and I would very
much like to take advantage of these translations rather than having
to roll my own. I'm aware of course that I will have to translate my
application specific items myself.
Thanks,
Jeff Higgins

}

MenuManager fileMenu = new MenuManager(
MenubarLabel_File, IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_FILE);
menubar.add(fileMenu);

Thank you Alex.
I'm still blindly feeling my way around this=20
lush jungle of intertwined functionality.
Haven't yet got a big picture view of all the interactions.
Anyway, I've solved my immediate problem by:
1. Placing the appropriate language pack jars into
my target platform directories.
2. Adding the appropriate NLS jars to my product configuration.
3. Launching my product with the -nl switch.
Now I have:
Main menu items are not translated of course but I believe=20
I can fix this, if nothing else, by translating them myself
or figuring out how to as you say "even use the existing=20
fragments to provide the data that you need"
Appreciative,
Jeff Higgins
