You're completely right. (Note that this applies to the French translation as
well, of course.)

It's already available. To my own surprise I found the language packs quite
easily (Some days ago I must have missed them ;-) ), and they explicitely
include a RCP language pack. So either this or a subset of it must be included
in the full uDig release.

You will probably have to remove/turn off unsupported languages. Otherwise on,
lets say, an italian PC uDig will show up with English uDig menu entries and
italian Eclipse-based menu entries, I expect. Or is there a more elegant
solution?

BTW: I installed the full SDK pack, added the appropriate packages to the run
configuration (using "Add required plugins") and started uDig - and realized
that I had translated some things differently from the "original" Eclipse
translation. I'll have to correct this.
But it works, anyway! The missing menu items are German now.
Just the "Using the Eclipse help system" page is still English.

Thanks for the hints.
