Make localisation window more reachable

AndiG

The localisation features are a little bit "hidden"

While programming an app for different languages, I often have to open the localisation window. There are a lot of clicks to get to the window, where I can add/change the strings.

Proposed Solution

I did a little mockup as a suggestion. It would be easier to remove the "Supported locales" from the Project settings and put them under the "Solution" tab. The "Localisation" tab from the Project settings window shouldn't also not to be shown there. On the right, there could be a row with "[L] Localisation", when double-clicked a window with the localisation configuration opens.

Who Would This Help?

Everyone, who has to translate her/his app.

How about a right-click option for the project with a shortcut to the localisation pane in the project settings instead?

OK, maybe that can do the job also.

My thoughts are:

In my opinion Localisation is not a "Project Setting". The bigger an app gets, the more things have to be translated.
Now, the Locale functions were found in the Project Settings->General tab and in the Project Settings->Localisation tab. I think, that should be cleaned up and it could be handled like the Menu Designer, where a double-click in the Solution window opens that nice editor.
