A proposal wrt language packs and possible way to install them has been made in late May. The decision as far as I see it should be made by Trung and his team. CC-ing him and marking this issue as incomplete. would need as part of this the process to test it much before real localized packs would happen - a. would need to provide RE with some dummy localized files so that they could be built into some 1 file per component per locale as is laid out in the spec for langpacks. (and to know about proper file naming for these langpacks) b. how to special enabling of showing the langpacks choices in ui would be needed if its not part of the en installer itself - that is, if there are no langpacks to install, the ui is there but choices are empty but for testing using items in a above, some flag would be needed to activate this ui since the items mentioned in a. could be inserted in the correct place in the regular installer jar as part of testing, without needing to have current installers do that. b1. would need to know where in the installer jar these files would go. c. or perhaps separate ml langpack installers would be needed in any case ? since l10n work wants to start at beta2, and that they need installers to check their work. ken.frank@sun.com More a task than a defect. there would be no language packs for 6.0 so resolving as later. please reopen it when the decision to make langpacks is positive again. do you want a separate issue filed on what is needed to be done given that there will be one ml zip or zips with all translations ? that is, i think some tasks mentioned below will still need to be done. ken.frank@sun.com |
