As promised, here are patches for Russian localization (attached). Pathes are created against current git master.

These patches enable Russian for all elements in UI including controls in Form Builder. It requires editing multiple files. So, if you consider Orbeon translation to your language, I hope my experience can be usefull - at least you can find all necessary files to edit in one patchset.

And there is one more tricky question regarding i18n. Sometimes just translation is not enough. I mean, for instance, the following situation - date in Russian should be written in format "dd/mm/year", but standard controls have now hardcoded format "mm/dd/year". For the moment in such situations we just implemented quick workaround - forked standard controls and set "oxf.fb.toolbox.group.*.uri.*.*" variables in properties-local.xml to point to these forked controls. It works but it looks ugly.

Could you advise the right way to localize controls in such situations?

Best regards,

Alexey
