["Felix Knecht (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-397?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12650547#action_12650547 ] 

Felix Knecht commented on DIRSTUDIO-397:
----------------------------------------

Some hopefully usefull hints:

- 'Normall' only the content from plugin.properties/messages.properties needs to be translated and be put into a file specific to your language (e.g. plugin_de.properties for German or plugin_de_CH.properties for Swiss German).
- You only need to translate what is different to the origin file. If a property isn't found in your translation file it's falling back to the main *.properties file.
- Use eclipse' PropertyEditor in the 'Properties' View to edit the values. This will do the Unicode encoding stuff for you and prevent you from having afterwards strange characters within your translation.

> request for multi-language GUI for Apache Directory Studio.
> I suggest to use Apache commons-configuration components to read key-value based multi-language strings in XML format. Each language has a XML file.
> I can translate from English to Chinese.
> Please do not use Java properties files for multi-language, XML is better for modifing.
> I am sorry that I do not familliar with SWT. If this project is based on Swing, I can finished this part by myself.
