Hi We are building an eclipse-based tool for a customer and we're using the uml2 and the uml2tools plugins. The customer wants to have a localized application (German), so we have to translate everything. As I'm a committer for the uml2tools we don't have any problems to localize the uml2tools, which means to open the bundles for fragments (= 'Eclipse-ExtensibleAPI: true' in the MANIFEST.MF ) and provide german language fragments. Because the Babel-Project works this way these bundles are able to be transferred to the Babel-Project easily. So, that's the background. In order to have a completely localized application we also have to localize the UML2-bundles. But as there isn't a localization bundle provided by babel and the UML2-bundles don't allow to be extended by fragments I can see no way to do this. So my change request is to change all UML2-Bundles so I can create localization-bundles. Of course I would contribute these fragments to babel. I hope you can provide a solution for me soon. Best Regards Christian
What makes you think UML2 bundles don't support extension via fragments? IBM contributed translations for UML2 for a number of years before the advent of Babel... If this is just a matter of registering UML2 with Babel, please let me know what I need to do and I'll try my best to make that happen.
Sorry, I didn't knew that. Where can I find the translations? How do I have to use them? Where can I find additional information on this? Thank in advance Christian
Information, including the latest available translations, can be found in the "Language Packs" section of the UML2 downloads page at http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/downloads/?project=uml2.
Thanks for your help. This really brought me forward. But I couldn't find a translation for uml2 v3.1.1. So I will have to check (and maybe adjust) the german translations. Are there any plans to make a new translationl? Would it be convienient tp provide an up-to-date translation to babel? May I can assist in this. Another point, which has been misleading me, is, that I assumed the Eclipse-ExtensibleAPI Flag is used at runtime, but it isn't, as I've learned today.

There are currently no plans to provide new translations, but we'd gladly welcome contributions from the community. Ideally, such contributions would leverage Babel...
I made a constribution to babel with a german language pack for modeling.mdt.uml2 (bug #348701)
