Generate localized javadoc

Question

I would like to know if there was a simple way of generating localized javadoc : I would like to have translated (for example in french) title and keywords instead of \"retu

Answer 1

As said by Matt Ball, you can provide the -locale option to javadoc to influence some things. The problem is that tools.jar only contains the default English and additionally one Japanese (ja) and one Chinese (cn_ZH) translation.

I just tried the Chinese one, and it works: it writes 抛出： JSchException instead of Throws: JSchException.

So you would have to translate these to your language (if you don't want one of these).

Some years ago I created an Esperanto translation of those resources for the then-current version (1.2 or such), if you are interested I could dig them out. (But it seems now they are using another format.)
