Hello,

In the JFormDesigner it is possible to "internationalize" the labels of
the graphical interface.
Ref: http://www.jformdesigner.com/doc/help/news/images/20/i18n_ma in.png

Is something in the same way is planned for VE ?

Thanks.

What does it do? Does it switch the locale for the editor so that it
displays the strings in the class being edited in the new locale?
Currently it is only the current locale that started Eclipse.

Normally the term "internationalize" means that you want to change from
using quoted strings to using property resource bundles. If you want to
do that, then Eclipse already provides that. Select a
class/package/project and do Source->Externalize Strings... to do this.

It automatically puts all strings into the specified resource bundle.
Yes I think (I never use it) it displays the interface in the selected
language.

I didn't understand your answer, sorry. Are you saying it just changes
the locale or does it actually externalize the strings and put them into
the bundles (i.e. change the code itself and the properties files
themselves)?

Have a look at, it needs no explanation :

I'm sorry but that link tells me nothing. It is a just a picture. It
doesn't explain what it does.

Putting strings into bundles is done by Eclipse. They have
externalization the functions.

But it is a desire to allow switching locale on the fly. We just haven't
done it.

BTW, we have had this same feature available in WindowBuilder for a year and
a half...

http://www.instantiations.com/windowbuilderpro/docs/nls/nls. html
http://www.instantiations.com/windowbuilderpro/docs/preferen ces/preferences_nls.html

You can...
o Extract hard coded strings into resource files (using several
different patterns)
o Create and manage multiple locales
o Swtich between locales in the UI
o Use context-sensitive local editing (changing a text label updates the
correct properties file)
o Automatically extract new strings as they are added to the UI
