Would you like to have Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition in your language? And the language happens to not be one of the supported ones (French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese) ?

Ales Cernosek, together with a student team, created a survey about bugs/RFEs that should go into a new incoming release of OpenCTI.
More info at  http://blogs.sun.com/cti/ or/and http://kenai.com/projects/cti/pages/Home

The goal of this survey is to:
* select at least 6 the most important bugs that should go into OpenCTI 1.1 - a selection process and decision is done by CTI users
* let people decide and influence an openCTI development
* let people know that we take their feedback seriously

If you are keen to see some bugs fixed in CTI, now it the time to raise your voice !

The localized release notes of Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 and Sun GlassFish Message Queue 4.4 has just been posted on docs.sun.com, here are the links:

Are you looking for Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 Administration Guide in Japanese ? It has just been freshly published on http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1775.6?l=ja !

Now I should probably write this entry in Japanese, but my language skills are not there yet... like... not at all... I would need at least a magical dictionary+5 for that ! :)

Sun Open Community Translation Interface (Sun Open CTI) was officially released yesterday !

The idea is that Sun Open CTI is a new release of the CTI tool, but does not replace it: both versions are still running in parallel, sharing the same data. Users can choose between the two versions. So why having a new version ? New look and feel and new features ! And those are the one that was requested by the community, so they should really improve the usability:
- Fuzzy matches
- Terms Proposals
- Terminology Database Access
- Search
- Comments Addition
- History
- Password reset

Everything is well explain on CTI blog: http://blogs.sun.com/cti/entry/sun_opencti_v_1_0

Undoubled apostrophes in messages going through the Java MessageFormat class are very common in French, simply due to the fact that it is hard to have a French sentence without any apostrophes !

Having a look at bug https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9896, you'll see that it was the case as well for some English strings. The bug is now in Fixed state, which is really good because the problem was spread all around GlassFish and not trivial to fix.

Please note that there are two patches at disposition in case you want to fix your own instance. Those patches does not fix all modules, but take care of all LogStrings.properties files and LocalStirngs.properties and CMP bundle.properties.

We are aware that there are still some problems, mainly in French, about undoubled apostrophes, and we are working on that.

Hello !

We already bloged about it, and it is well know that you can add new languages to Sun Convergence. This wiki page tells you how: http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Adding+a+New+Language+in+Convergence

Going through the Sun Concergence 1 Update 3 Release Notes, you can find two bugs related to this customization.Copying them below for reference !

Known Issues: Customization

6745772

When adding a new right-to-left language such as Arabic or Hebrew to Convergence, the UI text is not right-to-left.
This issue occurs if you enable customization and perform the steps to add a custom language to Convergence, then log in as a user created in LDAP with a language preference set to the custom language (for example, Arabic). The UI displays text and aligns widgets left-to-right instead of right-to-left.

6745757

When adding a new language to Convergence, Convergence hangs if no resources.js file is directly under the allDomain directory.
This issue occurs if you enable customization and perform the steps to add a custom language to Convergence, creating a directory structure as shown in this example:

/iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/nls/
/iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/nls/<_new language_>/
/iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/nls/<_new language_>/resources.js

In this situation, Convergence does not load the files; it does not bring up the UI.

Workaround: Add an empty resources.js file directly under the /iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/nls/ directory. Note that you still must create the resources.js file under the /iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/nls/<new language>/ directory. For example:

/iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/nls/
/iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/nls/resources.js
/iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/nls/<_new language_>/
/iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/nls/<_new language_>/resources.js

Here is an interesting i18n bug for Update Center on OpenSolaris: https://updatecenter2.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=511

The problem is that Update Center 2.2 does not follow OpenSolaris keyboard settings.

Therefore, you are stick with a English keyboard, and it is not possible to type i18n characters like é, á, ó, í, à, ô, â, etc...

One workaround is to use the Sun ¨Compose¨ key. Here is the list of combinations available to type some characters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key

For those who do not have compose key, you can always Copy-Paste the characters you want. If you find any other handy workaround, feel free to share !
