Internationalization and Localization will be supported.
- Internationalization (I18N)
Each project should be able to work in an international environment, including support for operating in different locales and processing/displaying international data (dates, strings, etc.).
- Localization
Each project should provide an environment that supports the localization of the technology (i.e. translation). This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that strings are externalized for easy translation.
Where possible, projects should use an open and transparent process to create, maintain and deliver language packs translated into multiple languages in a timely manner. The primary languages to consider are: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Spanish.
WTP will support the platforms certified by the Eclipse Platform project. For a list of platforms supported in WTP 3.3, see Eclipse Target Operating Environments
