User problem: ----------------------------------- For certain geos, a non-localised product is a barrier to use. User need: ----------------------------------- The IDE needs to be localised to the local language for certain countries. Product requirement: ----------------------------------- All parts of the IDE need to be fully I18Ned, since the IDE will be localised into several other languages.
What's the current status of the i18n process? I'm still seeing a english-only version when I launch 3.5.1. If you switch to a resource file I could translate to German.
Everything should be using resource bundles already - this issue is more of a placeholder noting that it's a requirement for new versions (there's an automated tool to check this as long as raw strings in source files are followed on the same line with //NOI18N). Have a look at http://translatedfiles.netbeans.org and maybe mention it on nbannounce - there are already french, russian, japanese and chinese localizations - it would be wonderful to have a german localization as well!
Useless issue.
