Can Globalyzer Workbench help me build resource files and externalize strings from my source code?

Yes it can, and it will add great productivity to that long and tedious task. It is common for developers to be able to comfortably externalize 1,000 strings and more per day using Globalyzer. Globalyzer lets you see the string within your code and manages the whole externalization process. It is customizable, giving the developer complete control while aiding productivity.


How do I install Globalyzer Workbench ?

To install Globalyzer Workbench, you first need a Globalyzer account (see this FAQ). Once you have an account, you log into Globalyzer Server and at the bottom of your home page there is a link to download Globalyzer Workbench.

Globalyzer Workbench is a standalone Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) application. In addition to many internationalization features, the Workbench benefits from Eclipse's support for integrating with source control, programming language plug-ins and any other plug-in to assist with your development.

Please see installation for complete Globalyzer Workbench download/installation instructions.

Is Globalyzer Workbench automatically (automagically) fixing my code? Is Globalyzer Workbench adding anything proprietary?

No, Globalyzer does not make changes without your knowledge and does not add any proprietary elements to your source code. However, once you do approve the fix for one or more internationalization issues, Globalyzer does have highly productive capabilities to speed up repetitive internationalization tasks, such as string externalization.

What does "nature" mean?

"Nature" is an Eclipse notion. Project natures act as tags on a project to indicate that a certain tool is used to operate on that project. When you create a project and add a Globalyzer Nature to the project, that project can have scans, etc.

In Globalyzer Workbench, after the string extraction, can a developer tell what string is associated with the string key other than opening up the resource file?

If you select an externalized string key in the source code, you can right click and select Globalyzer->Resources->Go to Resource Definition and it will bring up the resource file with that entry highlighted. Also, if you set the preference to Window -> Preferences -> Globalyzer - Automatically Insert Externalized String Comment, when strings are externalized, a comment will be added to the source file with the text of the string that was externalized.

Can a developer customize the result list – for example, have the freedom to move entries to to-do list or ignore list, etc.?

Yes, scan result statuses can be changed. Select one or more scan results, right-click and select the new status.
