Subject	Re: [babel-dev] Identifying (and externalising) untranslated strings

Apologies for the dev-spam, but I finished going through
all the
Preferences nodes, and found a few buried more deeply:

WTP:
* Web Services/Axis2 Preferences
                
and contents of this node (both tabs)
* Web/JavaServer Faces Tools (and subtree: FacesConfig Editor,
Libraries, Validation, Views, JSP Tag Registry)
                
preference node names
                
and all node contents

BIRT:
* Report Design/Bidirectional Properties
                
and contents

As with my previous list, these strings have apparently been hard-coded
in English [as of the Ganymede-SR1 release].  Please, externalise
your
strings!  As Antoine said, ask babel-dev if you need help.

Thanks!

Sean.
