Java Lab 13 Solved

Internationalization and Localization
Create an application to explore the available locales included in the standard Java Development Kit.

The main specifications of the application are: Compulsory (1p)

• Create a package with the name res. Inside this package create the files: Messages.properties, Messages_ro.properties.

#Messages.properties file
prompt = Input command:
locales = The available locales
are:

locale.set = The current locale
is {0}
info = Information about {0}:
invalid = Unknown command

#Messages_ro.properties file
prompt = Comanda ta:
locales = Localizarile disponibile
sunt:

locale.set = Localizarea curenta
este {0}
info = Informatii despre localizarea
{0}:

invalid = Comanda necunoascuta

• Create the package com and implement the following classes describing commands:

o DisplayLocales: to display all available locales
o SetLocale: to set the application current locale.
o Info: to display informations about the current or a specific locale.

When the user sets a specific language tag, various information obtained using standard Java classes such
as Currency or DateFormatSymbols should be displayed in a text area, as in the following example:

• ▪  Country: Romania (România)
• ▪  Language: Romanian (română)
• ▪  Currency: RON (Romanian Leu)
• ▪  Week Days: luni, marţi, miercuri, joi, vineri, sâmbătă, duminică

▪ Months: ianuarie, februarie, martie, aprilie, mai, iunie, iulie, august, septembrie, octombrie, noiembrie, decembrie

▪ Today:May8,2016(8mai2016)

• Create the package app and the main class LocaleExplore. Inside this class,

  read commands from the keyboard and execute them.

• All the locale-sensitive information should be translated in at least two

  languages (english-default and romanian), using the resource files.

  Resources

• Internationalization Objectives

• Understand the concepts of internationalization and localization
• Identify a localization by using the Locale object
• Use properties files and resource bundles
• Parse and format locale-sensitive data, such as dates, number, currencies.
