-------------------------------------------

from the mailing list:

I have started to implement support for German installations. We already did some work in NPanday 1.2 supporting "Dokumente und Einstellungen" instead of "Users" :) (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NPANDAY-222)

The simple way would certainly be to "or" all the language names, but it would not be the clean way to do it. I think we have two options.

 1) Easy, but still clean: Use .NET Localization for customized Menu-item names
 2) Better, but quite hard: Move from "Addin" to "Integration package", which will enable language-agnostic communication with Visual Studio via cmd-ids. (http://nayyeri.net/visual-studio-addin-vs-integration-package-part-5)

More on option 1)

Last spring I started to fix the issues for 1.2, but I didn't manage to finish them. The code is still on github.

We/You :-) had to do two things:

a) Enable support for sattelite assemblies
 - Generate a list of all cultures into npanday-settings.xml (npanday.plugin:NPanday.Plugin.Settings.JavaBinding:generate-settings)
 - Do not link *.[culturecode].resources into the main assembly (npanday.plugin:maven-compile-plugin:compile)
 - Create a satelite assembly for each of the culture-codes and attach it to the artifact (npanday.plugin:maven-compile-plugin:compile-satelite-assemblies)
b) Refactor the addin to use Resources instead of fixed strings. It would also be good, to move to command pattern for the commands. I started the work here. Some time ago I rebased it to the current code base - but I didn't test it.

> Since the VS-Addin searches for commands by names as "Tools" or "Add Reference" they have to be translated to different VS-Versions.
