Description mrmorris 2008-11-26 15:56:37 UTC 
Many NetBeans components will currently insert #NOI18N in front of a line of a resource file, if it knows it is not a
key for i18n (i.e. the JSR-296 support does this a lot). When adding other locales for a default property file in
NetBeans, NetBeans should then NOT copy keys which have been marked "#NOI18N" since a missing key in a derived/specific
version will automatically trigger a lookup in the default. 

It is more DRY and by experience, translators have a hard time knowing which keys to translate and which ones not.

As I understand this problem belongs to i18n category so that reassigning - please evaluate.
Thanks.
