Hi,

The RAP application we are building (an online dictionnary) needs to display all its messages in French. So we have a
few questions:

1) Is there a mechanism in place to translate messages from .js files (especially Request.js) ? If so, what is it? We
could provide the French translation.

2) Where are the files associated with "-nl [language]" located? Is there one for French? We use "-nl fr" but still see
text (like "Other" when you click on the select perspective button) in English. Again, we could provide a French
translation.

Thanks,

Patrick Turcotte

Hi Patrick,

1) No, I don't think so that it is possible at the moment. Not sure if
we ever intended to allow translations here. If you really need this you
could open a bug to track this request.

2) Eclipse itself gave up to provide translations but the Babel project
already did translations for 3.3 and 3.4. I never tried to integrate
them myself but it should not be a big problem. Take a look at
http://www.eclipse.org/babel/downloads.php

Hi Patrick,

regarding the Javascript files, they are not translatable at the
moment. The only message I can think of that should be translatable
is the "Server session timed out..." in the Rquest.js you mentioned.

Cheers,

There exist already two bugs on this issue:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=223854
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=223853

In my opinion translations for these strings are a must because a
session time-out, for instance, can always happen. The "gold" solution
would allow to specify an html page which is displayed on session
time-out - do you think that's possible?

Regards & nice weekend,
Stefan.
