Description John Jullion-ceccarelli 2002-03-13 16:20:31 UTC
I sat down with Peter Zavadsky today to try and figure out what each of the 
properties in Tools | Options | Internationalization | Expert Tab do and it 
took us about 10 minutes to figure it out. Needless to say, they could use some 
clarification.

Since this should be a 3.3.2_CANDIDATE I don't think we should rename the 
properties, since that's a UI change, but I think we should add some 
explanatory text to each of the property editors.

Bundle Code Format - This regular expression specifies the format used to 
initialize resource bundle fields in source code.
I18N Code Format - This regular expression specifies the format used to 
generate internationalized strings in source code.
I18N Key Format - This regular expression specifies which strings the 
Internationalization Test wizard recognizes as being internationalized. The 
wizard checks for each matching string's key/value pair in the appropriate 
resource bundle.
I18zed String Format - This regular expression specifies which strings the 
Internationalization wizard and the Internationalize command recognize as being 
internationalized. The wizard and command generate internationalization strings 
for each string that does not match this expression.

I'd also like to redo the tool tips for I18zed String Format and I18N Key 
Format.

I think that #21140 fix that introduces 4 new help IDs (one per
property editor) fixes also this bug. Clear and context sensitive
explanation can be a part of javahelp.

Again, John if you do not like it - reopen, please.

Yup, we don't want to do a UI change here and the new CSH 
on each dialog is enough to explain it to the user. Thanks.
Comment 3 Jan Chalupa 2002-04-26 09:08:06 UTC
Removing the 3.3.2_CANDIDATE keyword.
Comment 4 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 09:52:16 UTC
Resolved for 3.4 or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
