Hello,

I'm actually working on a web application project based on Eclipse RAP.

One of the project's requirement is internationalization.

I know that Qooxdoo, a javascript library used by RAP, implements it.

But I don't know if RAP is actually using this functionnality. Is it or
not ?

Thanks for yours answers.

Hi Cédric,

RAP currently does not support I18n out-of-the-box as there are some
topics to think about first. This was also never a plan item for the 1.0
release. As I18n support is really an important thing for web
applications in general this should be addressed in the next major release.

Hello Cédric,

Benny replied earlier to your post but I would like to add a few things:

i18n of (large parts of) applications is possible with RAP by using
standard Java internationalization functionality.

If you are using our workbench implementation: the workbench itself is
not ready for i18n - this is due to the concept of tying the i18n to
bundle startup time, which is fine for RCP / an IDE, but a problem with
a multi user environment
-> texts that are specified in the plugin.xml cannot be
internationalized right now (e.g. View names, Action names)
-> standard UI texts cannot be internationalized (e.g. button ok /
cancel in dialogs)

We plan to add i18n features to RAP with the 1.1 release which is
targeted for Feb 08.

Hi,

last but not least I want to add to the previous posts that I18n the
workbench from a technical point of view isn't a very tricky task. So there
are no issues expected by doing so. The only reason we delayed it to the 1.1
release is that it is a very time-consuming one. As I18n it wasn't such a
pressing issue in the community, we prefered to provide stuff like blocking
dialogs in the 1.0 timeframe instead, since those were strongly demanded by
the people using RAP.

Ciao
Frank
