That's a really good question.
While I am not sure about the specific issues that Minamoto-San is
encountering in translating RHQ into Japanese .... perhaps the
question could be broken down into the issues of internationalization
and localization.
A good link on the topic:
http://www.objectsource.com/j2eechapters/Ch19-I18N_and_L10N.htm
First the application needs to be internationalized ... and this means
enabling the application to run in different languages and regions.
Internationalization involves things like moving strings to
ResourceBundles. And then comes the process of Localization ... text,
and number formats, and images, etc... in the specific locales that
are supported.
I am curious to know if Minamoto-san's issues are more issues with the
internationalization of the RHQ application ... or specifically the
localization of RHQ into Japanese.
Also ... there may be an opportunity for some QA/testing activities to
identify some of these issues.
There is some cost associated with 18n/l10n ...development ...testing
... but also potential opportunity. I'd like to learn more about what
RHQ currently supports in this regard ... Is there a document or link
on RHQ's i18n/l10n plans?
The RHQ gwt based web ui should be fully i18n'd, if its not its a bug.
This does not however mean everything you see in the UI is i18n'd:
-JSF pages won't be i18n'd
-Data retrieved from the RHQ agent plugins is not i18n'd, though if you look at the
rhq-project wiki you should be able to find design pages on how to do this.
There is no expectations around there being a completely l8n for any particular language.

Subject: RHQ in Japanese
Hi,
Minamoto-san is currently looking at translating RHQ into Japanese -
and as you can see he is making good progress.
But some things don't yet work well
- the title bar elements are too small for Japanese (red circle )
- some items are not yet translatable (blue marker)
How can we help him?
Heiko
