P: SDK: LrDevelopController broken in languages other than English, German, Swedish

[rsjaffee]

Much of the LrDevelopController API is broken in languages other than English German or Swedish. When a user switches the language to one of the above, the plugins work normally. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/midi2lr/BSk7LVw7GTY for a conversation regarding this.

It looks like this is slated for the next update. Stay tuned.

do you know if the issue of Lightroom getting slow over time is also in the next version? 

[J453]

If we're talking about the issue with high core machines, it's being worked on but I don't believe the changes for that will make the next immediate release. (It's a very complex change)

"A French user replaced the TranslatedStrings_Lr_xx_XX.txt file with the file from the previous version of Lightroom."

That confirms the hypothesis that LRDevelopController.getValue() / setValue () are incorrectly translating parameter names for those parameters that depend on process version (there should be no translation at all).  I made a version of TranslatedStrings_Lr_fr_FR.txt, restoring the old CC 2015.12 values for the just the ProcessVersion keys, and getValue() / setValue() now work correctly.  

Here are the precise diffs:

Yes that's it. Can I participate in the beta. I know how to replicate it 100 % of the times.

Do your programmers need more training?
