I had a quick look into this one. As far as I can see, Launchpad seems to rely on GNU gettext for the translations, which is also available for Java, but it would require a major rewrite to replace our standard Java Resource bundles by GNU gettext calls. Fortunately it seems there is an interesting and very small (17k) library available for this:
http:// code.google. com/p/gettext- commons/
I suggest, we should give this library a try. Or does one of you know a better library or some huge disadvantage of gettext-commons?
In case this library would enable us to switch to launchpad translations with greatly decreased efforts, I would suggest considering the implementation of this FR for a later release of the 1.3-Series.
