If I use the I18N module to internationalize a form, or internationalize my text w/ the property editor, still new strings I edit inline in the form editor will be hardcoded. If the rest of the UI is internationalized, new strings should automatically be also. (of course this is not so easy with the I18N module separate...) And if we're going to go that far, why not forget about ever hard-coding strings, and just always generate a properties file by default and never hardcode strings at all? Or at least make doing that the default. Not an easy problem, but the ease of use of the current internationalization support is terrible. Transparent internationalization would have the greatest ease of use.

The support for automatic I18N has been already implemented. Select the root node of the Inspector and see the I18N section in the property sheet.
