Internationalization / Localization

Functionalities for internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) will help non-English speaking people make more use of Flying Logic.

I do not mean i18n/l10n themselves but functionalities for i18n/l10n such as Java property ResourceBundle classes and property files. By using such functionalities, users can replace menus and messages by themselves.

I notice that property files for German are already included in Flying Logic but it turned out that they have nothing to do with i18n/l10. However, the fact make me think about the standard Java i18n/l10 mechanism using ResourceBundle classes and property files.

Flying Logic is a great tool for every enterprise, I bet. However, as long as Japanese small and medium enterprises concerned for example, the language barrier is quite important. With i18n/l10n functionalities, third parties, open source communities in particular, will be able to provide property files for their preferred languages.

Thank you for your suggestion. As you rightly point out, the “property files for German” that are in the Flying Logic bundle are part of a third-party library we use that happens to originate in Germany, and none of those resources ever appear in the Flying Logic UI.

I realize that is not the same as translating the user interface, but supporting as many locales as we can is definitely part of our plans.
