> Translating Common, JSword and BibleDesktop is difficult as translations files are segregated by Java package. As such there has been little traction in translating Bible Desktop into other languages.
> Translations should be co-located in a single location. The translator should not have to dig to find the files to translate. By having them co-located, the translator can quickly find what has and has not been translated.
> Translations should be able to be edited in their native script. Java property files are in ASCII and are not conducive to editing.
> Translators should be able to edit the files easily outside of Eclipse using a simple translation editor such as poedit.
> The conversion of these files to Java property files should be automated.
> Recommendation: Explore GNU's "Translation Project." Specifically, gettext "po" files.
