Does jEdit support i18n?
When editing text documents, jEdit supports any available encoding scheme, and can open files with a specified encoding other than the default encoding of your operating system using the Commands>Encoding from the File System Browser. With respect to menu labels, message strings and other GUI elements, the jEdit project team currently does not have the resources to maintain multiple property sets in languages other than English, particularly since the development effort is continuing at a rapid pace. There has not been great demand for this in any event. This may be because jEdit is primarily a tool for programmers, and the use of English as a common first or second language is widespread in the global programming community. This decision may be reconsidered when the application has further matured and if more individuals express a willingness to be involved in translation work.
