Kudos go to Tom Landry and all the developers at the Centre de Recherche Informatique de Montréal (CRIM) for their work towards localizing Sakai Tool Titles and Descriptions. The initial implementation will be included in Sakai 2.4 and is described in SAK-7311.
Tool titles and descriptions can be over-ridden with translated text in the sakai/tool/tool-impl/impl/src/bundle/tools_*.properties file. All tool titles and descriptions in the Worksite Setup tool will use the user's preferred locale. Once a tool has been added to a worksite, it will retain the title in the language used when it was configured. If an (English) administrator adds the "Discussion" tool and a (French) user views the same tool, he/she will see the tool title in English, not French. The group at CRIM has continuing plans for working on this issue (see SAK-8908).
