This is NOT for nb4.0, just for 4.1 the usual files that are localized for nb are Bundle.properties, html template descriptors, and html and other javahelp files, besides .url files. For the few nb modules that required some xml or layer file to have some changes for locale, issues are being filed to just have these things handled by the code, just like its handled for most other modules. for the org-netbeans-modules-javahelp.jar there still seems to be requirement to modify masterHelpSet.xml file to translate some words like labels for Name and Index also, it seems that this file needs to be in localized jar for help to be found, but not certain about this --> Can't the words to translate just come from bundle file, and also, if this file needs to be in localized jar just to be found, cant the code take care of it ?
Marek, can you answer Ken's questions?
I will investigate if it is possible to set text for views at runtime (so code could load localized strings from bundle and set it to UI).
I discussed it with JavaHelp: There is no other way how to localize view labels now. (NavigatorView does not have any API to set localized label programmatically. HelpSet xml file must be localized.)
