<H3 ALIGN="CENTER">Frequently Asked Questions</H3>
|
|
<P><B> What is the advantage of using RB Manager when I can edit resource
|
|
bundle property files in a simple text editor?</B></P>
|
|
<P>Trying to manage internationalization efforts in anything but the smallest
|
|
of projects can be a difficult and time consuming task. In fact, RB Manager
|
|
as a project grew out of the frustrations and errors that developed as
|
|
the result of trying to maintain multiple language support in a moderately
|
|
large project. Relying on text editors and the like decreases the chance
|
|
that developers will properly comment each aspect of each translation,
|
|
increases the chance that errors such as duplicate key names and inconsistencies
|
|
across language files, and increases the amount of time developers and
|
|
translators have to spend tracking down inconsistencies and untranslated
|
|
resources.</P>
|
|
<P>RBManager offers the following features to correct these problems:</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
<LI> RB Manager can edit multiple language files when appropriate</LI>
|
|
<LI>Entries are checked for proper format and assured not to be duplicates</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>RB Manager provides a better grouping of resources, so that individual
|
|
translations are easy to find</LI>
|
|
<LI>Each language file will display in its own view a list of only resources
|
|
that are untranslated</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>RB Manager keeps track of statistics such as number of resources,
|
|
untranslated items, etc.</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>RB Manager allows importing and exporting of translation data into
|
|
multiple formats</LI>
|
|
<LI>Use of the application cuts down on development, translation, and
|
|
debugging time in any internationalized setting</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<P><B>Will RB Manager work on my computer?</B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>RB Manager is written using only the Java API. It has been tested under
|
|
the Java 1.2.2 runtime environment and higher. If your computer has a
|
|
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in this environment, RBManager should work
|
|
for you. Instructions for setting up and running the program are found
|
|
in <A HREF="Tutorial/step1.html">Step 1</A> of the tutorial.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P><B>Why doesn't RB Manager run in language X?</B></P>
|
|
<P></P>
|
|
<P>RB Manager will allow you to edit language files for any language/country/variant
|
|
encoding. To demonstrate the usefulness of internationalization, RB Manager
|
|
has its own resource bundle. The application can currently be run in English,
|
|
German, Swedish, and Finnish. You are welcome to use the program to edit
|
|
its own resource bundle and add any other language. If you do so, you
|
|
may submit the new language file to the application's author via email
|
|
at <A HREF="mailto:jjared@almaden.ibm.com">jjared@almaden.ibm.com</A>.
|
|
Each submission will be considered for future submissions, but the submittor
|
|
must give the rights to the translation to IBM if the file is to be included.</P>
|
|
<P><B>I found a bug. Where do I report it?</B></P>
|
|
<P>This is the first alpha version of RB Manager, and some bugs are expected.
|
|
You may email a description of the problem to the author at <A HREF="mailto:jjared@almaden.ibm.com">jjared@almaden.ibm.com</A>.
|
|
I hope soon to create a page where known bugs are listed.</P>
|
|
<P><B>What can I expect from future versions of RB Manager?</B></P>
