Adding languages

Language files are stored as JSON files, that contain metadata and key-value pairs for each translation.

Metadata is stored at the top of the file, and contains the following fields:

{
    "language-name": "English",    // The name of the language in English
    "language-native": "English",  // The name of the language in its native form.
    "language-charset": "default", // The character set of the language
    "language-fallback": "en",     // The fallback language code (defaults to English)
    
    // ... translations go here
}

language-name, and language-native are required and should be self-explanatory.

language-charset is optional and defaults to default. If the language uses a different character set, you can specify it here. Supported values are:

• default
• greek
• korean
• japanese
• chinese-full
• chinese-simplified
• cyrillic
• thai
• vietnamese

This will tell Eclipse which font to use for the language.

language-fallback is optional and defaults to en_US. If a translation is missing for a key in the current language, Eclipse will fall back to the specified language. You can use this to avoid duplicating translations for similar languages.

Note: this field is not recursive, so if a translation is missing in the fallback language, it will not fall back further.
