| <li>Message Editor <strong>RESUMED HERE 4/7/08</strong></li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The key being translated doesnt show the context of each key</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>This makes it hard to actually do the translation</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>We need some type of UI to traces the key back to the code or give information on that particular string</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>General problem for the translation tool, we cannot solve this right away</li> |
| <li>Work around: Use Runtime Editor</li> |
| </ul> |

| <ul> |
| <li><strong>ACTION ITEM: Gabe to do this</strong></li> |
| </ul> |
| <li>Eclipse Platform Page</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>We should work with the platform team to have a link to Babel there these are high traffic pages and if people are looking, these pages will get hit first</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>URL: download.eclipse.org/eclipse</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Link for 3.2.1 page but no link for Babel </li> |
| </ul> |
| <li><strong>ACTION ITEM: Kit to open a bug against Platform Team for this</strong></li> |
| </ul> |
| </ul> |
| <li>Start adding <strong>Help Wanted</strong> for bugs when we create a bug that needs help</li> |
| <li>Update site for the Messages editor may grab interest for developers</li> |

| <li>Create a UI to show which strings not to translate</li> |
| <li>Should bring up a wizard to externalize the string</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Helps you figure out which ones being with a %</li> |
| <li>Eclipse offers way to externalize strings</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Maybe we can tie this to the message editor</li> |
| <li>Server code has a bug that the string that shouldnt be localized</li> |
| <li>Flag a string that it should be the same across your languages</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li>We may have to improve the way code is imported into the server so that it is not presented to the translators</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li><strong>ACTION ITEM: Kit will open a bug to improve this process and will mention the server code to tie them together</strong></li> |
| </ul> |
| </ul> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Add Notification to show which strings that were already translated have been changed</li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |

| <li>Should it be once or day? Or automated? </li> |
