Internationalizing interface strings (localizable-text API)
Overview
This product supports the maintenance and deployment of centralized message catalogs for the output of properly formatted, language-specific (localized) interface strings.
This topic summarizes the steps involved in implementing message catalogs through the localizable-text API.
Procedure
- Identify localizable text in your application.
- Create the message catalogs that are necessary for the locales to be supported by your application.
- In your application code, compose the language-specific strings for output.
- Using an assembly tool, assemble your application code as one or more application components.
- Prepare the localizable-text package for deployment with your localized application. In this step, you create a deployment JAR file.
- Assemble the application modules and the deployment JAR file into a J2EE application.
- Deploy and manage the application.
Result
Your application is deployed with localized text.
