tomcat401/lib/httpmonitor.jar and j2sdkee1.3.1/lib/system/httpmonitor.jar has the following localized file. org/netbeans/modules/web/monitor/server/MonitorBundle_ja.properties However, this base file is not included in l10n.list. If this file is localizable, please add the following entry to l10n.lit. monitor/src/org/netbeans/modules/web/monitor/server/MonitorBundle.properties If not, these files should no be included in .jar files.
The text of this file says it should not be localized or on l10n.list. So if not, I do agree with request of this bug to remove it from the build. Even in english only build, this jar file, and the httpmonitor.jar file in modules/ext, has both the ja and non ja Bundle.properties and this MonitorBundle.properties_ja.jar translated. Can the build of English only have just the Bundle.properties files of httpmonitor.jar just like all other jar files in FFJ from nb or ffj in any case, and not the _ja.properties files ? ken.frank@sun.com 04./22/2002
The MonitorBundle.properties file contains a set of standard status messages that servers generate as a result of processing a request. The appropriate message is included with the HTTP headers in the response. We did some investigation of this when I started working on the monitor and we discovered that these messages typically are not localized. For this reason we decided not to localize them also, since doing so would probably would not be helpful (users would not be familiar with translated versions of these). One of these will appear on the request pane on the monitor, in the exit status field. If all goes well, it is set to 200: OK. You can use lynx and set the flag to show the header to connect to a bunch of servers around the world, you will find that the HTTP status header typically returns English messages. IMHO this is not a bug. The file should be included in the jar file and should not be translated, so the i18n list is correct as it is. It's the localized version that should be taken out. We should revise this discussion if we find that servers have started to translate these messages. I would be grateful if Ken and the submitter of this bug could add a message here to indicate whether you are OK with this. If so, please remove the localized file and close the bug.
The explanation below is ok with me. Please wait for the localization center who filed it to comment later tonite. Separately, I'm asking RE to remove the _ja.properties from the jar files in the english only build, but that is not really related to this issue. ken.frank@sun.com 04/23/2002
Still no comment from Japan. I assume we have agreed on this now.
I am sorry for the late reply. We are ok, so pleare remove _ja.properties from .jar. Thanks, Yuko
Consistent use of the I18N keyword.
