It was me and I've setup https://translations.launchpad.net/netbeans back
then.

It has some old strings from 2008 and very few test translations (eg,
https://translations.launchpad.net/netbeans/trunk/+pots/netbeans-core-actio=
ns/ro/+translate)
but I think it was semi-usable.

I haven't kept track of that project nor did I follow the launchpad
updates. Last I tried (in 2008!) the main problem was that it was built
with gettext in mind and I had to convert the .properties files to .po
files. I hope that's a bit more streamlined now, but even so, it is just a
matter of making a conversion script.
