Description

The help information of shell commands should be localizable.

Not everyone is fluent in English.

Language Bundles

Hi to all,
what do you think on implementing a set of Language (Resources) Bundles containing all the i18n text for all the commands ?
Keeping the default (English) inside the commands, but any other language outside, and download/install as requested.

For example Windows Server 2000/2003 has this feature.

The problem for this could be for any Command not included in the JNode Base Installation, but we could keep an area for all these languages bundles (like /i18n/it_IT (locale)/jnode etc ... for any locale and external set of commands) and add later other bundles (or keep them part on the installation process of any other command).

Bye,
Sandro

I agree

Hi sandro,
As you probably know, every class/resource is in a plugin.
A command is also in a plugin.

I planned to make commands with a default bundle in english (in the command's plugin). For other languages, they will be available as one or more fragments (a feature already implemented in JNode).

Let's wait for that issue, which will specify the multiple languages support for help informations.
