JM/A Internationalization
Today, practically the only barrier to international electronic commerce is language. Unfortunately, most software is still written in English—and in the world of the Internet, most users don't speak English as their primary language. English-only software is therefore already obsolete.
But how do you go from acknowledging the need for internationalized software to the practice of developing it? Java Internationalization shows you how. The Java platform provides a powerful framework for creating international applications. Support for the Unicode Standard is only the beginning. You need to understand how to isolate language-dependent resources (such as prompt strings) for your program logic; how to package these resources in resource bundles; how to accommodate text that may not read from left to right; and how to rethink your application's user interface so it "translates" as well as the text.

Today, practically the only barrier to international electronic commerce is language. Unfortunately, most software is still written in English—and in the world of the Internet, most users don't speak English as their primary language. English-only software is therefore already obsolete.
But how do you go from acknowledging the need for internationalized software to the practice of developing it? Java Internationalization shows you how. The Java platform provides a powerful framework for creating international applications. Support for the Unicode Standard is only the beginning. You need to understand how to isolate language-dependent resources (such as prompt strings) for your program logic; how to package these resources in resource bundles; how to accommodate text that may not read from left to right; and how to rethink your application's user interface so it "translates" as well as the text. Java Internationalization covers the various APIs in the Java platform to make sure that your application can sort text in other languages, display currency and dates correctly, and manage all the fine points that distinguish a truly mvilticultural application from one that screams "Tourist!"
Java Internationalization brings Java developers up to speed on the new generation of software development: writing software that is no longer limited by language boundaries. This book can't translate your dialog boxes into Finnish or Nepalese, but it can show you how to design and build your application so that, with the help of competent translators, it can "pass for native."
Java Internationalization covers:
• Locales and resource bundles
• Formatting issues
• Character sets and the Unicode Standard
• International font support
• Searching and sorting international text
• The Java Input Method Framework
• Internationalizing graphical user interfaces and web applications
The book also includes a quick reference guide to the classes relevant to international Java development. Vissza
