I'm still missing a piece. Translation is typically done after the fact,
without access to the source code or requiring a re-compilation.
Further, the selection of which national resource to use must be
dynamic. It sounds very much like in this scheme key names are constants
in the code, like:
public static final String KEY1 = "hello";
How does this change to "bonjour" when I am in France?
Ok, I can answer the second question myself if the answer is, the
selection of which class to load is dynamic, based on country code, like
fragments.
And the answer to the first question must be, translators must run their
generated classes through a compiler, but they don't require access to
any other source code.
I'm also guessing if the user changes nationality dynamically, as you
can do on some platforms, he has to restart Eclipse. Which may not be a
change from the previous story.
Sorry. Didn't think it through before posting.
