Extending the OpenOffice.org integration plugin

How to add new languages

Abstract

This document explains how to add a new implementation support and how to internationalize the plugin. This is a part of the plugin developer's documentation.


To bring the plugin to other languages, there are a few things to do. Even if you have no knowledge of Java, internationalizing the plugin will be easy, because there is no code to write or read. Here is a short list of what to translate or change:

  1. the messages strings

  2. the on-line help

  3. some images

  4. The translation informations will have to be packed into a plugin fragment
