I know someone else made a german version by just publishing a properties
file that contained german strings in place of the english ones. I'm sure
you can get very close to a "chinese version" without making any changes to
java code.

Chances are, when you are done, you'll want to make it available first to
the community via a posting to the community site or something.

At the moment, we don't have a place to put alternate language property
files in the svn trunk of core. I suppose if we started getting
contributions of this sort, we might want to address that issue.

Yes, the property file that lets become jEdit a "German version" can be
downloaded from the <a href="cid:par...@Sc..."
 moz-do-not-send="true">Community site</a>.<br>
<br>
Almost all text strings that are shown by the GUI are not hard coded in
the sources but rather read from property files. Jedit core reads them
from jedit_gui.props. Most plugins use a file named
&lt;PluginName&gt;.props. I took all the lines representing GUI labels
together in one file and have replaced the English strings by Germans -
Thats all ;-)<br>
<br>
I would think, the easiest way for You was to take my deutsch.props
file and replace the German strings by Chinese ones. Assuming that You
better understand English than German You'd have to search the original
property files for the English string...<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
