Package details
Popeye is a graphical Java (swing) tool for helping a developer or a team of
developers to make it's application multilingual (I18N). It was originally
developed as a properties file editor.
The Java language provides a language bundle mechanism to solve this problem
without a lot of trouble. Such bundles consists of a set of properties files
and each file contains a special language translation in a key=value style.
In huge projects it can be difficult to hold many files up to date. At this
case Popeye aims, because it reads all files and collect the translations for
the keys. Now the user can edit, resort, remove or insert new entries.
Apart from the java bundles there are a number of other solutions (for other
programming languages), e.g. po or catalog files. Now - Popeye can read only
the java properties files. But the current versions have some abstract internal
layers which can handle any type of file (theoretical).
This package has no releases.
