| Eclipse is a global community. It is in everyones interest |
| to ensure that Eclipse is available and translated in as many locales as |
| possible. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Babel will be a set of tools to make the job of globalizing |
| Eclipse projects easier. We also want to provide ways for people world |
| wide, who are interested, to contribute translations in their language |
| of choice. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The project will include tools and activities that |
| are needed to adapt the Eclipse deliverables to properly run in multiple |
| locales and to translate selected Eclipse projects into multiple |
| different languages (French, Japanese, German, etc). The project could |
| eventually include tools to aid in the following areas: Enablement testing (E.g. |
| can the software run in different language environments and handle |
| multiple scripts, etc.), translatability testing (is it ready for |
| translation?), preparation for translation (preparation of resource |
| bundles), Translation testing (Is the translation acceptable?), and more. |
