Hi Danijel,

AFAIU this should work as follows:

1. NetBeans is built as a set of modules.

2. Each module has a "manifest.mf" file (see [1] for an example)

3. Some of these files have an entry named "OpenIDE-Module-Localizing-Bundle" (see [2] for an example)

4. This means that the module has a "localizing bundle" which is a Java bundle (properties file) such as [3] that you have to localize.

5. The NetBeans source code has a "l10n-kit" Ant task that you can run to collect and group these localizing bundles.

5.1.- Clone the Apache NetBeans repo as in "Building from source" in [4].

5.2.- Run "ant l10n-kit" there. You should have the english version of the kit to localize to your preferred language.

I think it's ages since we last run "l10n-kit", so it could be it doesn't run well for you. If so please either

6.a) Try to send us a PR with improvements.

6.b) Open a ticket detailing the problem.

Hope this helps,
Antonio

Greetings all!

We have interest in localizing the platform to Slovenian language and we came 
to a hold on how to continue. We managed to checkout 
https://github.com/apache/netbeans-l10n build and prepare a few projects 
(Italian, Polish) for which there were already some translation sources but we 
are lost from where to get the English bundles that we would use as a base for 
our Slovenian translation. Currently most of info on how to setup I got from 
discussion from last year which we found here 
https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@netbeans.apache.org/msg08390.html but as there 
is no source localization files in netbeans-l10n-zip/src/ for English we don't 
know what to use as a template for Slovenian language translations.

Best regards!
