Filing here since welcome.jar in modules/docs. Using beta1 and pseudo localizing welcome.jar so that modules/docs//locale has welcome_ja.jar with Bundle_ja.properties and<filename>_ja.html. But when run in ja locale, the information in welcome window does not come from these files. But the Welcome tab message does, and its from welcome.jar bundle file - so it seems that that part is using the locale file, but not anything that actually on welcome screen. Attached is one of the html files that were modified - this is not a screen shot of ide.
Created attachment 6254 [details] what modified welcome_ja.html should look like in ide
Assigning to Richard, who works on the welcome screen
I'm sorry. welcome.jar shouldn't be in docs subdir.I'll remove it.
HTML pages' references are in Bundle.properties now. So when you need to localize welcome you should create own localized HTML page and put reference into your bundle_ja.properties.Reference properties are: REF_Welcome_page REF_Welcome_131_page REF_Help_page. Fixed.
I don't think it should be required to have or localize the 3 values with the name of the localized file. The code should find it based on locale like other nb modules that have html files (non help) in their jars like template descriptor html files. In other words, if there is a given xx.html file in jar, like the welcome.html, then in ja locale, code should use the welcome_ja.html that resides at same location as welcome.html but that is in the modules/locale./welcome_ja.jar. And if the localized jar file not present, then code would just use the html in welcome.jar. Can you consider doing it this way and reopening issue if needed ? ken.frank@sun.com 07/04/2002
Done according to Ken's suggestion. But there should be images inside modules/locale/welcome_ja.jar as well.
Consistent use of the I18N keyword.
