Generating Internationalization Strings Automatically

To automatically internationalize source code:

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the class file you want to internationalize and choose Tools Internationalize from the contextual menu.

    The Internationalize dialog box appears showing the first quoted text string found in the Value text field.

  2. Click Browse... and select the properties file in which you want to save the internationalized strings.

    Alternatively, you can click New... to create a new properties file in which to save the internationalized strings.

  3. Use the Field pane and String pane to change or add identifiers, modifiers, keys, and values as needed.

  4. Click Repl... to generate the internationalization strings.

    The next string to be internationalized is then displayed in the dialog box. Continue until all strings are replaced. When the last string has been replaced, the dialog box automatically closes.

If you do not want to internationalize a text string, click Skip to display the next string.
