Description Thomas Schindl CLA 2011-07-07 10:26:48 EDT 
We are currently using NLS which loads our translated strings into static-fields. While this approach is fine for an RCP/SDK-Env it breaks for Multi-Instance/Multi-Locle environments which RAP is one for example.

This means RAP will have to patch e4-bundles to support this which IMHO is not correct solution. We always defined that statics/singletons are evil in e4 and so we need find another/better solution to the problem.

My suggestion would be to adopt the translation story provided by the e4-bridge which works on an instance base and an in memory cache
