Hi there, I have a few questions about Internationalization:
1. Can we set the prefered language programatically. That is, to read the
prefered language from the database and use the correct *.properties file.
2. Could the UI language be changed on the fly, without reload of the page.
3. What is the fastest and simplest method for externalization of strings
in already developed application you already know, step by step.
Thank you in advance

to 1.) did you take a look at RWT#setLocale() ?? that's how i do it.
to 2.) would be interesting, i couldn't figure out a way, i think this would require extensive listener usage?! in my application one can only set the language during login so i don't need on the fly language change, but it would be interesting indeed!
to 3.) sry, can't help you there, i developed with externalization, but did you check the i18n guide in the RAP developer guide?
greetings,

Thank you for the first point, that is the thing I am looking for.
On point 3), easier development process:
yes I have read it I also figured out to alter the result from the
eclipse externalizer with two regex-es:
### reg ex
# find: Messages\.getString\("(\w+)"\)
# repl: Messages.get().$1
and then CTRL+1 on each missing field in the Message class.
Hope that is good staring point for someone new.
But for me it is kind of frustrating yet.
That's why I am asking
Thanks again

Ah, thanks for the hint (I didn't get that).
The dialogmessages.properties is a left-over that can now probably
merged back into the original JFace messages.properties.
To make the IDialogConstants interface work for RAP we hand to
convert it into a class to be able to have multiple instances for
the multiple locales. The easies solution back then was to re-use
the RWT NLS mechanism.
Feel free to file a bugzila.
