Hello, Paul.
Sorry for the delayed answer.
The problem is that we are relying on Cocoa to create these menu items.
However, to properly understand the locale Cocoa needs a special key in the
Info.plist file (CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations). However when you are running
a java application as java -jar … there’s no Info.plist file, so Cocoa does not
use the locale preferences and displays everything in English. We have the same
problem with a native FileDialog.
The problem does not seem to be fixable internally in JDK, because there’s no
API to tell Cocoa that we wish to use CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations key. The
only possible workaround right now is to use the javafxpackager tool and create
a native bundle with your application. Bundled apps have an Info.plist and
Cocoa localization works well with them.
For more info please look at the following JDK bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8019464 It’s about the FileDialog, but
everything there applies to the default menu items as well.
With best regards. Petr.
Thanks, my application is actually packaged using this fork of
appbundler https://bitbucket.org/infinitekind/appbundler
So will
<key>CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations</key>
work for that as well ?
