That's http://viewvc.jboss.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/jbosstools/trunk/common/plugins/org.jboss.tools.common.model/resources/meta/studio_eclipse_option.meta?view=markup

I suggested merging a template with translated strings during the build process, but then Denis Golivin wrote:

That file still appears to contain embedded English strings, so I don't think this problem has been solved yet.  I don't fully understand the details of the issue, but since I'm raising i18n jiras, I thought I'd better bring it up again.
