[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBDS-587) Need to translate Help/About text including copyright statement

[Snjezana Peco (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBDS-587?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12455061#action_12455061 ] 

Snjezana Peco commented on JBDS-587:
------------------------------------

plugin.properties is used to internationalize the Help/About dialog.
about.properties is used to internationalize the feature.
See the attached screenshots.

JBDS build copies product.properties from the releng plugin (see JBDS-586).
Not sure if it is necessary to internationalize this file too.

> Help/About JBoss Developer Studio shows the version/copyright information for JBDS.
> This text looks similar to /com.jboss.jbds.product/plugin.properties but is actually overwritten/expanded from 
> releng/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.releng/builders/product/product.properties during the build.
> The problem is, if we create a translation fragment plugin for com.jboss.jbds.product, the translators will translate the obsolete information in /com.jboss.jbds.product/plugin.properties, and when a langpack is installed, the up-to-date information will be replaced by obsolete information.
> We need to work out how to handle this better, preferably keeping the translatable text somewhere in com.jboss.jbds.product, not in releng.  
> Perhaps we could do something with /com.jboss.jbds.product/about.mappings / about.ini?  Ref: http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/product_configfeature.htm
