Java Internationalization

We live in an increasingly interconnected world, and software development is not isolated from these forces. This is especially true as companies develop international development teams and distribution networks.

The Java language has a number of capabilities built in that support internationalization and localization of Java-based applications. These tools include everything from message formatting to GUI glyphs and writing direction.

This one-day course will provide you with an overview of the Java internationalization and localization tools. At the end of the course, you should be able to decide whether and how to internationalize your applications, and decide how much internationalization to apply.

This is presented as a one day lecture.
