Re: [l10n-dev] German

Hallo, Lutz

Sehr angenehm Innen zu hoeren.

>we are at the moment working on a german translation for Netbeans.

That's good, and I'm glad to hear that, I hope you manage to do it.

Trunk or release35 branch? I'm sorry I haven't checked Trunk version 
of CVS for a long time, because I was hardly working on NetBeans 3.5 
Russian.

Correct changes.

This system of creating many small .nbms was done not so long ago and 
is not very stable :-(, and work on stabilizing was done mainly on 
release35 branch.
One thing you may find useful: look at nbbuild/mlbuild/build.xml, this 
ant script is intended to build IDE with prepackaged localization 
inside.

>'ant_de.nbm'. When I try to add this 'ant_de.nbm' I get some

That's a known error and fixed in NetBeans 3.5 (as far as I remember), 
what version of NetBeans do you try to add these .nbms to?

There's actually no such task now, it was replaced by granular builds.

Yes, small .nbms are "by design", that was a price we had to pay for 
flexibility.

P.S. I'm sorry for my Deutsch, it's not so good I'd like to (read: 
it's really bad)
