Description onebug CLA 2011-05-02 03:04:27 EDT 
Build Identifier: M20110210-1200

The Eclipse splashscreen (eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.platform_3.6.2.v201102101200\splash.bmp) has no localized version. No localized splash.bmp can be found in the eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.platform.nl1_3.6.2.v201102251823 plugin.

When starting Eclipse in any other locale than English, copyright text will still show in English.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Eclipse with Japanese locale: eclipse.exe -nl ja
2. Splash screen shows with copyright in English

Paul,
     Does this belongs to Platform UI or elsewhere?

Not sure, I'll ask around.  We usually provide the splash screen, but AFAIK the .bmp includes the copyright.

As far as I know, this has been the case since the very beginning.  The copyright and other legal wording is included in the artwork itself.  I really don't see this changing.  I think the answer is that if you want localized splashes, you could provide your own.
