For Developers/Translators

Get English Sources Please read the page carefully and decide which components do you want to localie. Then pick up l10n-kit.
You can find English sources and OmegaT project files. Please note that ant grab is no longer supported. Please pick up the single l10n-kit.

If JDK does not include your languages and you want to localize JDK Swing UIs (Swing FileChooser and ColorChooser, and Dialog) into you languages, please check the how-to doc for Swing UI translation.

Translate Them Please refer these documents. It depends on what you use for translations. Check the translation status page, which is being updated daily.
Put your localized files into translatedfiles/src/.


Verify Translated files If you can build NetBeans IDE, try to check the following documents and verify your translated files are OK on NetBeans.
