Hi Mohammed,

I had translated all menus to malayalam. "generate properties file" what I mean automatically scanning the source code and append the corresponding language properties file. Is it available in OpenJump?
I'm not sure why you want to "generate" properties files which already exist... Do you want to automatically find new keys you just added to the code to avoid entering these keys by hand in the properties file ?

For plugins (I should say extension), I usually include properties files in the plugin jar, not in the main jar. What do you think ?

using popoye we can append new translations?
I have never used it. It looks like prbeditor. I'll try to test it next time I'll have I18N work to do.

    Hi Mohammed,

    What do you mean by generate properties file ?

    There are some tools around there to help with writing properties
    file
    (http://rocketscience.itteco.org/2010/07/09/java-resource-file-editor/).

    The problem with these tools is that they generally modify
    original properties files in some way (ex. entries order).
    This is the reason why I tend to avoid them when I have only a few
    entries to add.
    But I (and some other OpenJUMP developpers) have already used
    prbeditor (https://prbeditor.dev.java.net/) successfully in the
    past, and it does a decent job.
    A convention we have adopted here in OpenJUMP project is to prefix
    entry values to be translated with T\:
    Ex.
    new-entry-not-yet-translated-into-malayalam = T\: New entry not
    yet translated into malayalam

    I would be glad to hear about your experience and suggestions
    about managing language file.

    Is there anything to generate language properties file. If no I
    am planning to add the utility to openjump.
    So that contributors need not to add each entry of their plugin
    to jump_xx.properties

    May I know the developers opinion
