Internationalizing a Locale-specific Application in Java

Internationalizing a Locale-specific Application in Java: "After some recent articles about Web page language translation, it's time to get back to the main focus of this series, which is the creation of international applications and Web sites. Internationalization is the process of designing software so that it can be adapted (localized) to various languages and regions easily, cost-effectively, and without having to re-engineer the software. Localization is performed by simply adding locale-specific components, such as translated text, data describing locale-specific behavior, fonts, and input methods."
