What's the right/best process for raising and discussing a translation issue in a Europa nl plug-in? [message #570379] Mon, 09 June 2008 18:25

Hello, I just want to raise this issue in the right place. :-) My
apologies for the length of this posting.

What's the right or best process for raising and discussing a
translation issue seen in a Babel Europa nl plug-in?

Should I use Bugzilla to open a bug, or first post to the babel
developers mailing list?

------------------------
This is the situation:
First, this posting was made to the eclipse.platform.ua newsgroup:
http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?id=526&gro up=eclipse.platform.ua#526

I investigated the French, as I have a small knowledge to read that
language. I found that in the 3.2.1 NL Pack, the file
WebappResources_fr.properties in the org.eclipse.help.webapp.nl_fr
plug-in contains the following lines:
Search=Rec&hercher
and *both*:
selectWorkingSet=Rechercher uni&quement dans les rubriques suivantes
SelectWorkingSet=S\u00E9lectionner la port\u00E9e de la recherche

But, when I get the Babel Europa update for my 3.3.2 Platform SDK and
look into the org.eclipse.help.webapp.nl_fr plug-in and into its
WebappResources_fr.properties file, I do *not* see these two:
Search=Rec&hercher
selectWorkingSet=Rechercher uni&quement dans les rubriques suivantes

And when I run the 3.3.2 infocenter from my Platform SDK with a French
UI, I reproduce the issue that Marcus reported in the
eclipse.platform.ua newsgroup.

Then, I updated the WebappResources_fr.properties file by adding those
two lines, and updated the org.eclipse.help.webapp jar that was added
from updating with Babel Europa, and lo and behold, when I run my 3.3.2
infocenter now, the labels show up properly translated.

So, I have some additional questions:
a. Why weren't those two lines/tokens carried through from the 3.2.1 NL
Pack to the Babel Europa package? Did they accidentally get dropped?
b. How to make sure a fix gets into the Babel Europa and Babel Ganymede
(if needed) packages?

I don't see a way on the Babel web site to add a new externalized token
to the file in question, if that's the right thing to do.

Thanks!
