Thank you for your answer Bertalan. I'm CCing to the list because it is somehow related to the topic.

Well, LilyPondTool is not localized at all. AFAIK jEdit is not either. First you we need LilyPond to write its error messages with an error code, to let us interpret independently of language. Second, I must create some property files that can be localized. This can be a semi-automatic process, so if you think there would be many French users, I can do it. But that will work only for the LilyPondTool parts, and not the jEdit core.
I had already seen somewhere jEdit wasn't localized and wasn't ever going to be, I just didn't remember it. As a matter of fact, jEdit is a bit weak on a few points, and this one of those; another one is, in my opinion, that its extremely heavy and slow, even on a Linux machine, maybe due to its Java origins, I don't know; the fact is, every time I use it I can't help remember older times when I was running *some* proprietary heavy notation software under *some* proprietary heavy Operating System. However, I find (and so do many of us) LilyPondTool is the best way to typeset LilyPond code, particularly for newbies, and I wouldn't have jEdit installed at all otherwise. So to my mind, this is LilyTool's only weakness. So, concerning translation, I would be glad to contribute. If LilyTool's localization is easy to do, just tell me how it can be done, or please send a language file (if there's any) so I can start to work on it, and maybe post it on the French mailing list. I think it's worth doing it, because once again I find LilyPondTool great. I just hope that maybe, in a few years (months ?), _somebody_ will be able to make it standalone. Maybe yourself, who knows... :) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
