<p style="margin-left:8px;">
Standardizing the NetBeans experience across the spectrum of languages continues with the Multilingual Releases of the NetBeans 5.5.1 IDE and its BlueJ Edition in Brazilian Portuguese (100% community contributed), Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
<br><br>
Spread the word about NetBeans's language versions by giving demos, talks, hands-on labs or presentations with a localized NetBeans IDE. And even better, JOIN the <a href="http://translatedfiles.netbeans.org/">Translation Project</a> and help us to continue creating more language versions of NetBeans!</p>

<h2><a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=1211">Navigating Layer Files</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left:8px;">
From Sandip Chitale's blog, a very valuable tool for NetBeans module developers.<br><br>
A new action Open Layer Files(s) was added in recent trunk builds (6/2/2007). The action can be invoked from the pop up menu of nodes under:<br><br>
Important Files/XML Layer/this layer in context
<br>
Important Files/XML Layer/this layer
<br><br>
in the logical view of the NetBeans module projects. The action opens (in editor) the layer file(s) that declare the node on which it is invoked. Invoking the <b>Select In > Projects</b> action in the layer file editor's pop up menu opens the Project that owns the layer file.....</p>

<p style="margin-left:8px;">
Prior to NetBeans 6.0, aligning two or more Swing components on center with Matisse was difficult. But now, there's a new feature in 6.0 that simplifies the process. Get the details in this blog entry from Roumen Strobl.</p>
