Hi,

is it possible to get the dates/time in a specific locale but not the translations from that locale?

eg. have german style date/time but all UI text in english, ie no translations, esp not translations from features/plugins which have translations inside.

Thanks,
Wolfgang

Most Eclipse project calls ICU4J and Java APIs to get time and date info.
If you launch Eclipse with no language pack installed with "-nl de" option
(no quotes), Eclipse will use German time and date info.

I created a new project and the last modifed time stamp was: 15. Juni 2009
18:20:59

Everything else was in English.

Yes, but all plugins who bring in their own localization will be in German then,
so I have a nice mixture of english and german then...

I can think of 2 options:
1) In Eclipse software configuration, you may disable the language
fragments for those plugins
2) Assuming that you are on Windows (Linux should have similiar setup),
you may set the system locale to English, but customize the date and time
format in Regional Options to German

Will try that and report results.

at least eg. on 3.3 for com.essiembre.eclipse.i18n.resourcebundle_0.7.7.200809291519 .jar
from the http://www.nightlabs.de/updatesites/development/ update site
the localized messages properties are just inside this plugin jar, so I can't see how to do this...

Thanks,
Wolfgang

If a plugin does not separate their localized messages into a plugin
fragment, I can't think of a way to get around that either.

Hi,

Do you want to format the date/time in your own application or wish to do so
in Eclipse IDE?

I believe in some OSs you may also do so on a lower level, I remember even
using UK keyboard or date/time format in Dubai or Switzerland (even though
the language was German or US English)

In your own code, using Java DateFormat with a Locale different than the
default would do the trick.
