I see the same problem with many features on the Ganymede Update Site:

http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/

Will attach a screenshot. Maybe I am in the same bad state as reported in bug 232411?
Comment 2 Rafael Chaves CLA 2008-05-31 18:11:53 EDT 
Bug 233054 seems to be about a similar issue that cannot be reproduced in a clean install.

Notice the %copyright string is not translated either. The duplicate categories is a different apparently unrelated issue.
Comment 4 John Arthorne CLA 2008-06-01 23:50:14 EDT 
Rafael, which build are you using?
Comment 5 Rafael Chaves CLA 2008-06-01 23:56:01 EDT 
My bad, should have noted it. I have used M7, RC2 and now RC3 in the last two days, so I am not sure anymore if it was with M7 or RC2.
Comment 6 Rafael Chaves CLA 2008-06-02 00:36:28 EDT 
I am pretty sure now it was with M7.
Comment 7 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2008-07-23 11:08:10 EDT 
We are no longer seeing this problem. Please reopen if this is still an issue.
Comment 8 Samuel Wu CLA 2008-07-23 17:14:07 EDT 
Build id: M20080723-0800
1. Create a feature project org.eclipse.mytest
2. Change feature name from mytestFeature to %mytestFeature
3. Create a file feature.properties in the feature
4. Add the string "mytestFeature= My Test Feature" to feature.properties
5. Create an update site project and add the feature org.eclipse.mytest to it
6. Build the udpate site
7. Add the local update site to Available Software dialog
8. Expand the local update site
9. The feature name shown is "mytestFeature". It should be "My Test Feature"
The test was done with eclipse-SDK-M20080723-0800-win32.zip
Comment 9 DJ Houghton CLA 2008-07-24 16:13:28 EDT 
I have verified that this is still a problem with 0723 based on Samuel's steps. 

The value from the feature.properties file is not found in the content.xml file.

It works ok if the update site doesn't have a content.xml and we connect and read the site.xml. (and download and translate from there)
Comment 10 DJ Houghton CLA 2008-07-24 17:37:59 EDT 
This seems strange but I tried it again and now it works based on Samuel's steps. Perhaps I did something wrong the first time?... but I swear a search for the translated string didn't find it before but now it is there after re-generating the site.
