Thanks Nashwan.

I did not receive reply from other people (ex: developers from RedHat or Ubuntu who might be interested in translating to some languages they support in the Linux distributions), so it's not clear about the interest for other languages.

Hopefully we can figure out a common set of files people would like to work on. I would start with just rt.jar (or a subset of it, just the most frequently used properties files) for now when I update the instruction. I need more time to look into the file list.

thanks,

Hi Michael,

An updated list of instructions will be great! .. Actually we plan to translate *all* the needed strings in JRE and JDK .. but for now we will start with the resource files in rt.jar

    Hi Nashwan,

    We provided localization instructions around JDK6/7 time at the
    following URL:
    http://openjdk.java.net/groups/i18n/

    However, there was lack of interest, so we did not continue with
    the project. The instructions is outdated now. If there is still
    interest in adding translation for various languages to openjdk,
    we need come up with updated instruction and process.

    About the files to translate, I suspect most people are only
    interested in translating resource files in rt.jar (or a subset of
    it). Is this what you have in mind? Below is a list of (for
    example) Spanish files in rt.jar

    % jar tvf rt.jar | grep _es

        Hi Nashwan,

        As to whether Java supports Arabic or not, it *does* support
        Arabic as follows:

        http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/javase7locales-334809.html

        However, you are right that Arabic translations for those UIs
        are not included in the run time.
