Dear list,
Let me introduce myself since this is my first (and hopefully not last)
post here. I'm Daniel Janus, the current maintainer and one of the
developers of Poliqarp, the open-source concordancer for large
collections of texts.
The GUI client of Poliqarp is written in Java and is currently
undergoing a major rewrite. The GUI in question is bilingual,
completely translated to English and Polish (with an Ukrainian
translation coming soon), which means that not only are the system's own
messages translated to Polish, but so are some of the standard Swing
dialogs provided by the JRE (JFileChooser, to be more precise, since
it's the only one that's currently used). I had produced a crude
translation of the latter sometime in early 2006; this involved creating
a Polish version of some .properties files under
com.sun.swing.internal.plaf.
Because the Poliqarp code is currently being reviewed and most of the
JDK went open source since then, I would like to take this opportunity,
complete the translation, synchronize it with the latest OpenJDK code
and contribute to the community. I checked out the Mercurial
repositories, and if I am not mistaken this will involve providing a
patch that will add the translated .properties files in
jdk/src/share/classes/com/sun/swing/internal/plaf/{basic,metal,synth}/resources.
If there is anybody that would be willing to guide me through the
process of submitting such a patch, or else direct me to the more
proper place where it might be considered, I will be extremely grateful.
Best regards,
Daniel Janus
