Description
Originally by @magi42
The RichTextArea component has many texts, such as the Background, Foreground, Font and Size menus and their items, but they are all in English. It would be nice if it would be possible to localize them.
Probably easiest way would be to add server-side API for providing translations for the texts. The texts are probably not localized in GWT and localizing them in IT Mill Toolkit for every language might be a lot of work.
The buttons "B", "I", "U", etc. can be localized with CSS, but I'm not sure how stabile such localizations are if the order of the buttons in the button background changes in GWT. Hope that they won't change it.

Research direction
Start by tracing the RichTextArea component and the sources of its Background, Foreground, Font, Size, and button labels. Review how GWT localization and any existing server-side text APIs are handled. Done means the named RichTextArea texts can be localized without relying on unstable button ordering.
