Hi all
I'm writing a standalone application using SWT and JFace. I use dialogs
and wizards, however, I still don't seem to understand how to
internationalize them.
Tod Creasey told me that "these are internationalized in the catalogs we
[eclipse.org] supplied" and that I get this for free, when I use the
wizard classes.
But I don't seem to understand how to internationalize the "Next",
"Previous", "Cancel", ... buttons. I found the file messages.properties
in jface.jar. However, there is no messages_de.properties or
messages_fr.properties file.
I can do the following, but I cannot get an internationalized String:
ResourceBundle bundle = JFaceResources.getBundle();
String s = bundle.getString("nextButton"); // which is "&Next >"
Sorry for still asking the same questions, but I'd like to be able to
give the users of my application the chance to switch the language (if
possible without restarting the application). Unfortunately, I'm new to
SWT/JFace and have never been particularly interested in
internationalizing an application.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Christian

There is or will be a separate set of NL features and fragments. Those
fragments will contain the translations. I don't know if they have been
made available for 3.0 yet.
It used to look something like
org.eclipse.pluginid - the main plugin english only
org.eclipse.pluginid.nl1 - a fragment for the main plugin with the
translations
