Task overview: Internationalizing interface strings (localizable-text API)

This topic summarizes the steps involved in implementing message catalogs through the localizable-text API.

About this task

This product supports the maintenance and deployment of centralized message catalogs for the output of properly formatted, language-specific (localized) interface strings.

Procedure

  1. Identify localizable text in your application.
  2. Create the message catalogs that are necessary for the locales to be supported by your application.
  3. In your application code, compose the language-specific strings for output.
  4. Using an assembly tool, assemble your application code as one or more application components.
  5. Prepare the localizable-text package for deployment with your localized application. In this step, you create a deployment Java™ archive (JAR) file.
  6. Assemble the application modules and the deployment JAR file into a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application.
  7. Deploy and manage the application.

Results

Your application is deployed with localized text.
