Anil,

Generally you put them all in a properties file and reference them in
your plugin.xml and then you have properties files for the different
locales. The Bable project has translations for many of the Eclipse
projects:

Merks,

Thanks for your reply.

What you have mentioned in your earlier mail is fine, I am following the same way, what you have mentioned, is there any other alternative way to change the menu labels dynamically as and when user switches the language in application.

Anil,

No, most of the frameworks use an approach that involves caching the
property information on demand and once cached, changes to the locale
have no further impact.
