Ok, Daniel and I got things worked out in CVS.
The new build-i18n.xml does the gettext extraction, po update stuff etc, and
creates Messages_LANG.class files which are used by org.jmol.util.GT.java to
extract the right string.
So translators just have to update a .po file, using one of the many freely
available and rather user friendly .po editors. No manual checking of updates
in the main Jmol.properties required anymore.
For the developers this changes. Right now we have stuff in CVS like:
periodPanel.setBorder(new TitledBorder(
JmolResourceHandler.translateX("AtomSetChooser.vector.period.label")));
Which uses the Jmol.properties file as backend. With the new system this
becomes:
periodPanel.setBorder(new TitledBorder(GT._("Period")));
So no longer the use of weird keys, adding strings to Jmol.properties etc.
Just add the translatable text and be done with it.
If you have strings where something needs to be inserted in the text, use
something like this:
System.out.println(GT._(
"{0} is not a valid command!", new Object[] { someObject }
));
