Hi,

I noticed, XWT from the same vendor who already works with Eclipse and
Silverlight seems to become a commonly used technology for E4.
All demos and samples so far put UI messages mostly into the XML directly.

So how does i18n work there?
If Eclipse shall use that at least from E4 as a standard, then I guess all
the translation efforts, primarily undertaken by the Babel Project shall
also apply to UI elements created with XWT just as they do with normal SWT
components?

Thie simple i18n is supported. But the variables aren't yet supoorted. There
is an example in the tests plugin
org.eclipse.e4.xwt.tests/src/org.eclipse.e4.xwt.tests.i18n

It is already used in e4 contact demo. Uou can find the source
dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse/e4/org.eclipse.e4.xwt/examp les

In fact, it uses XAML's xStatic extension keyword to get the value of static
field defined in resource bundle class

<Button Text="{x:Static java:Messages.title}" />

Best regards
