The TapiJI project - Vision
Make I18N more convenient for agile software development
▪ Consider I18N as integral part of initial development
▪ Reduce effort of corresponding tasks
▪ Reduce the risk of bugs in the initial translation
▪ Highlight missing Internationalizations and provide Quick Fixes
Assist process of resource translation
▪ Provide application for resource translation
▪ Allow to edit Resource-Bundle without file format conversion
▪ Integrated into the dev tool landscape and process
▪ Assist cooperative translation work

I18N Tool Suite
Avoid typical problems of Java Internationalization
▪ Export of culture-neutral configuration strings
▪ Hard-coded UI literals
▪ Incomplete export of constant string literals
These problems are addressed by IDE-integrated assistance
▪ Present I18N tasks more transparent
▪ Highlight I18N errors
▪ Provide Quick Fix resolutions for reported problems
▪ Supports refactoring of resource keys
11
I18N Tool Suite
Refactoring support
▪ Refactoring of Resource Bundle keys
Proposal Context menu of Resource Bundle view
Context menu in Babel Messages editor
Short cut
▪ Consistently modifies resource references
▪ Provides preview for inspecting refactoring changes
▪ Cal10n Refactoring support
