Denis Golovin reassigned JBDS-587:
----------------------------------

    Assignee: Sean Flanigan  (was: Denis Golovin)


Assigning back to Sean.
Now About dialog is translatable since product.properties is removed from repository and plugin properties_${locale}.properties should have a translation for

aboutText=JBoss Developer Studio\n\
\n\
Version: {0}\n\
Build id: {1}\n\
Build date: {2}\n\
\n\
(c) Copyright JBoss by Red Hat, contributors and others 2004 - 2009.  All rights reserved.\n\
Homepage: http://www.jboss.com/products/devstudio\n\
User Forums: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=258\n

where {0},{1},{2} are defined in about.mappings file like

# about.mappings
# contains fill-ins for about.properties
# java.io.Properties file (ISO 8859-1 with "\" escapes)
# This file does not need to be translated.

0=@product.releaseNumber@
1=@product.buildQualifier@
2=@product.buildTimeStamp@

and 

@product.releaseNumber@, @product.buildQualifier@ and  @product.buildTimeStamp@ are substituted with real values during the build

> 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
