Hello,
after installing the Babel language pack, UI language of my Eclipse IDE changed automatically. However, I don't find any menu to control the UI language manually. How can I set the UI to any language I want? I thought this could be done by using -nl xx_XX, but this argument didn't show any results.

Further I have some questions regarding language strings:

1. I noticed that some elements (like the "about" menu item) of the RCP application's UI changed when the language of the Eclipse IDE UI changed. The first was volitional, the last was an unwanted side effect. How can I separate this? I want to independently change the RCP application's language of the IDE's language.

2. How can I affect which .properties file will be compiled into the RCP application?

You need to specify it as command line argument, e.g. "-nl de" for German.

Thanks.

For my first localization steps I used the mail demo, but with -nl xx only the strings in the .properties files were replaced, not those in the RCP standard menus like "file" and "about". The result were two languages in one RCP app.
