You are welcome to contribute the localization.
The library is currently under active development, it is considered as a BETA state.
Call org.omegat.swing.extra.ExtraLocales.initialize() once before starting GUI parts.
It automatically detects a system locale from "user.language" system properties.
When the locale is supported by the library, the library load translations into Java runtime
through javax.swing.UIManager.
ExtraLocales.initialize() register the library own LookAndFeel that wrap
the application LaF that overrides standard GUI dialogs messages.
Use org.omegat.swing.extra.ExtraLocales.setDefaults(UIDefaults uiDefauls) function.
It returns UIDefaults object with localized strings overrides.
- Add or update basic_xx.properties and gtk_xx.properties bundle file under src/main/resources/org/omegat/swing/extra
