Modules are not localized

[Karl DD]

Currently all Create and Affect modules are only available in English.

The main interface uses a single resource bundle to handle localization.
The individual plugin modules do not use this because they need to be self-contained and not reliant on the main application.
The idea being that other people can develop modules without having to touch the main code.

So far I see two ways of going about this:
+ Use the standard java resource bundle to handle the localized files. This has the down side of requiring X language files for X number of modules, which could end up being quite painful.
+ Implement some xml-based solution by wrapping everything into the plugin.xml file. This is more compact, but will quite possibly increase load time as the all the language strings for each module are parsed when the application starts.

If anyone has any input on this, please let me know!

Hi,
I am very newbie with Alchemy,
I had a problem and is related to modules.
I am working on Win-Vista.

First I tried this afternoon to open Alchemy ( Beta 008) and try it,
it was working, with the panel on the left,saved a file or two.

After this by curiosity I looked to the folders and see the modules are
in zip files , I unzipped them and let all together,
tried to open again Alchemy but Is impossible,
I moved all files in the program folder, any change,
take away the zips, any change.
My computer have as basic language French,
each time I get the text , in French,
that I have to install at least one module.
But the modules are all there with their folders
and I don't know what to do !
I will be glad if I can have a little help for this ,thank you !

The modules are .zip files, you don't/shouldn't unzip them.
Try download Alchemy again and keep the same file structure intact.
