shortcuts info not adjusted to language (Was: shortcuts info not adjusted to language if start option --language is used.)

[skyper]

I justed noticed this, but problem seems exist for quite a while (already in r3966)

I started josm with --language and the language is english but the shortcut info is still german (local)

r4079, openjdk

This also happens if the language set in preferences is not the default local one.

Or do I miss some java libs on my system ?

r4105, openjdk, Debian stable (with little testing).

Your problems with changing shortcuts has nothing todo with this ticket and belongs to #6840. Please add more information eg the console output there.

Did you try it with a new/empty josm directory ? Have a look at Help/ResetPreferences

yes, I know that these 2 issues are not connected (I created a separate ticket for the language problem). I found the troublemaker which causes #6840 (utils2 plugin) and already added information regarding this to the ticket.

From ​KeyEvent.getKeyText() javadoc :

These strings can be localized by changing the awt.properties file. 

I do not have any idea how we are supposed to do that. Instead, I found this on ​Oracle website:

2.3 Key Events

This section describes issues with key events.
2.3.1 General Unresolved Keyboard Issues

The following keyboard issues are currently unresolved.
    Changing the default locale at runtime does not change the text that is displayed for the menu accelerator keys.

Looks like a Java bug to me. They don't even say they will fix it, but I don't see a workaround right now.

​Bug found. Reported 7 years ago, it's a shame. There's a dirty hack submitted as a workaround.

EDIT: it works !
