Description Laurent Goubet CLA 2009-01-16 04:03:57 EST 
I realized that "Eclipse-LazyStart" (in the PDE editor) had been translated to another String (namely in french : "Eclipse-Démarrage Automatique". This is obviously wrong since this particular String shouldn't have been translated at all, being an header of the MANIFEST.MF and all. Even though I knew in which plugin/properties file this String was, it took me an insane amount of time to find the actual key on the babel website to revert the translation to its english counterpart. So much time in fact that I didn't even bother trying to go to the other languages and revert the possibly wrong translations (this particular translation was provided by Adobe and they made other languages).

There should be a way for translators to search for a particular String in other translations or source language (Eclipse-LazyStart since all translations are wrong or Eclipse-Démarrage automatique if I'm only willing to revert the french) and/or find similar keys when they found one (I found one of the x keys of the file that is using this String, I'd want to find the others without carrying on scrolling).

update : in fact ... I did _not_ manage to find the actual String I wanted to revert (for the record : the warning that shows up on the PDE editor when we use the "Eclipse-lazyStart" header in the MANIFEST.MF)... and that after having searched for one hour in both Eclipse (importing the plugins I thought the message could come from and searching through their properties files) and the babel website ... Does not really encourage the casual user to come and fix translations.
