German localization of Eclipse 3.0 [message #255817]

Sat, 26 June 2004 07:22

Eclipse User

Hello!

I'm happy about the final release of Eclipse 3.0 but I'd like too see a
localization with german language. There is a site (endgame plan or one
of these pages..) where it is said that "german and japanese locales
have been tested".
Do you know where to download them or when they are released?

Thx in advance,
herojoker

The translations are not done yet. We've ran the test with partial
translations.
Usually IBM gives the translation to the community a bit later.

I wonder why you want a German translation. You can read and write English,
so where is your problem?

I am German too but I don't use any German language programs if I can avoid
it.

Often the resulting translation is Denglish anyway. And if I have a problem
and need to look for help in this forum, then it often will not be helpful
if I have a German translation.

Besides this all our Javadoc has to be written in English. Programming is
English. Just get used to it. Finde dich damit ab. ;)

I feel much more comfortable with a localized version.

That's right.

After all you are right.
There is no serious reason why I should use a german version of Eclipse.

Well, the problem is not the IDE. In my case it is for RCP only.

IDE is for experts, but RCP-based Apps are going to be used by
(possibly) everybody, and so localization is really important.

This is very shortsighted, really. Is the programmer creating an
application with Eclipse the measurement? I doubt it. If you are a
commercial programmer then you produce software for your customers and if
they want a chinese version of your application then you have exactly two
possibilities: write a chinese version or forget that customer and his
money.

Of course the customer gets an application in his own language. This is not
the topic. The topic is that this application is built by programmers with
mostly english tools (programs). I don't have problems if these applications
are not translated. I am not the end customer, I am a programer. The end
customer always gets what he wants, even if it is Chinese.

That application may very well be Eclipse with custom plugins....in
that case the topic is actually getting the Eclipse ide translated.
