Hello all !
I've been working on internationalization of an RCP Product. Basically I used fragment plugins and resource files for each Locale/language I want my program to be in. So far everything works fine. The problem is this: how to internationalize SWT buttons like "Yes", "No","Cancel", etc ? Let's say I make a MessageBox with the following code:
MessageBox mb = new MessageBox(Display.getCurrent().getActiveShell(),
SWT.ICON_QUESTION | SWT.YES | SWT.NO | SWT.CANCEL);
Now, let's say I want to start in app in french. I start the app with the "-nl fr" arguments and in my plugins directory I have all the plugins that I need (that is org.eclipse.swt.nl_fr_3.6.0.v20101211043401.jar). All the app is ok, some internal messages (file menus, etc) and the messages from the resource files are in french, except the "Yes"/"No"/"Cancel" buttons. I want to specifiy that in the org.eclipse.swt.nl_fr_3.6.0.v20101211043401.jar i did found a resouce file SWTMessages_fr.properties with the following values (among others):
SWT_Yes=Oui
SWT_No=Non
SWT_OK=OK
SWT_Cancel=Annuler
So, I think the buttons should be fine, but they aren't. Also, I've tried to change the Locale on the OS in french, but still nothing. If anyone can help me, I would much appreciate it.
Thank you !

If you are on windows:
Start -> ControlPanel -> Regional And language options -> Regional options -> french.
Then you should see the buttons Yes/No/Cancel with text in french.
On linux just do an 'export LANG=fr'.
Time is what you make of it.

Well does your answer mean I can't start an application in EN_US if my
operating system is DE_AT?
For the rest of Eclipse I can certainly do this quite easily by starting
with -nl EN_US.

In Linux we are using the "export LANG=en" in the start-up script of our RCP application, while the OS language is DE. And works as expected (the export LANG was the solution for the problem described in this thread we were facing also in our application).
I do not know the solution for other OS's since the deployment requirement for our application was Linux only.
Time is what you make of it.
