| The language packs are distributed as zips, which you can install by downloading | |
| the zip file, unzipping into your Eclipse directory before starting Eclipse. | |
| Please read the details below concerning the zip files and their contents | |
| before using these translations. | |
| <p>For all the projects there are these types of language pack zip files:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><b>NLpack1</b> – Contains the NL fragments and the NL features<SUP>1</SUP> | |
| that contain those fragments for: German, Spanish, French, Italian, | |
| Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Traditional Chinese and Simplified | |
| Chinese.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| </li> | |
| <li><b>NLpack2</b> – Contains the NL fragments and the NL features<SUP>1</SUP> | |
| that contain those fragments for: Czech, Hungarian, Polish and Russian.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| </li> | |
| <li><b>NLpackBidi</b> – Contains the NL fragments and the NL features<SUP>1</SUP> | |
| that contain those fragments for: Arabic.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| </li> | |
| <li><b>NLpack1_FeatureOverlay</b> – Contains the translations for | |
| feature.properties files contained by the features<SUP>2</SUP> defined | |
| by the Eclipse component being translated. These files contain translations | |
| for: German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese | |
| (Brazil), Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| </li> | |
| <li><b>NLpack2_FeatureOverlay</b> – Contains the translations for | |
| feature.properties files contained by the features<SUP>2</SUP> defined | |
| by the Eclipse component being translated. These files contain translations | |
| for: Czech, Hungarian, Polish and Russian.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| </li> | |
| <li><b>NLpackBidi_FeatureOverlay</b> – Contains the translations | |
| for feature.properties files contained by the features<SUP>2</SUP> defined | |
| by the Eclipse component being translated. These files contain translations | |
| for: Arabic.<br> | |
| <br> | |
| </li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p><SUP>1</SUP> NL features are new features that did not exist for the | |
| component prior to translation. They parallel the set of features defined | |
| by the component and contain the NL fragments that contain the translations | |
| for the plugins contained by the corresponding features. They contain | |
| the translations for their own feature.properties files, not the translations | |
| of the feature.properties files contained by the corresponding features.</p> | |
| <p><SUP>2</SUP>Feature overlays contain the translation for the feature.properties | |
| files contained by the corresponding features. Here are the details as | |
| to why these files exist.</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>These are the only translatable values inside an Eclipse | |
| environment where the English strings are not in a plugin or plugin | |
| fragment.</li> | |
| <li>There is no such thing as a feature fragment like there is | |
| a plugin fragment. The translations of strings in feature.properties | |
| must reside in the feature directory right next to the English feature.properties | |
| file in order to be found.</li> | |
| <li>The feature directory names include the version number at | |
| the end. | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>So do plugin directories but that is not a significant | |
| fact in this discussion as the fragment support can handle the plugin | |
| and fragment not having the exact same version as long as the fragment.xml | |
| file has a proper match clause on its plugin references.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </li> | |
| <li>So, for the feature.properties translations which are created, | |
| managed and ship separately from the component zip files to land in | |
| the proper location to work properly when unzipped over an Eclipse install, | |
| the directory names in two independently built zip files have to match | |
| exactly. | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>There is no such problem for the rest of the translations | |
| including our NL features since those are built as a whole.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </li> | |
| <li>The only way to get this right is to build the overlay files | |
| against every release (even all the maintenance ones) that you want | |
| them to work with and then re-release them for each one.</li> | |
| <li>Prior to 3.1.1 all the translations (the well behaved majority | |
| and the overlays) were included in the same zip file and rebuilt everything | |
| for each release (even the maintenance releases). This is not required | |
| for most of the translation volume, just the overlays so now, starting | |
| with 3.1.1, they are separated. Going forward, these NLpack zip files | |
| will work with all 3.1.x releases without a rebuild (not 3.1.0 since | |
| there were too many NL fixes in 3.1.1). Each component will need to | |
| continue to re-release the much smaller NLpack_FeatureOverlay zip files | |
| with each maintenance release simply to align the directory names. Alternatively, | |
| consumers of a component now have a small number of directory names | |
| to fix up as they move from one maintenance release of a component to | |
| another.</li> | |
| <li>Finally, the various group overlay files must be separated | |
| since they should be separately selectable and the contents would collide | |
| by definition (identical directory structures) if in the same zip. The | |
| three NLpack zip files could have been combined into one since they | |
| would not collide with each as they have different NL fragment and NL | |
| feature names but it was determined that consistency in packaging the | |
| language groups separately would be best.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
