It also introduces the features of Java I18n/L10n ToolkitII and its interface, the project management window and how to use it.<p><a NAME="Java Internationalization and Localization Issues"></a><b>JavaInternationalization and Localization Issues</b><p>The Java Internationalization/Localization ToolKit II (Java I18n/L10nToolKit 2.0) is a toolkit for rapid internationalizing and localizing Javaapplications development.<p>Java's multi-platform compatibility makes it a natural choice for worldwidesoftware development. However, as with other software development, culture-specificdevelopment issues still need to be addressed.<p>Although JDK 1.1 and Java 2 Platform include internationalization APIsfor developing global applications, there are still many time consumingtasks in developing a Java application for global markets. The Java I18n/L10nToolkit makes internationalization and localization easier by helping withsome key processes:<ul><li>Checking Java files for methods, classes, class constants, and stringsthat are locale-specific</li><li>Checking for hard-coded or inconsistent message strings</li><li>Translating message strings and protecting strings that should not be translated</li><li>Generating new resource bundles</li></ul>Running the Toolkit needs JDK 1.1.7 with Swing1.1 as its basic requirement.Java 2 platform are highly recommended. It is available on Solaris, WindowsNT, and Windows 95 platforms. The Toolkit can be used in any locale, butTranslator contains only an English to Chinese dictionary by now. Of courseusers can add their own dictionary to it.<p>The Toolkit has four independent tools which can be used separately.They are:<div CLASS="Paragraph"><div CLASS="Paragraph"><ul><li><b><a href="verifier.html">I18n Verifier</a></b> to test whether a programis international or not and suggest corrections.</li><li><b><a href="msgtool.html">Message Tool</a> </b>to find and optionally correcthard-coded or inconsistent messages.</li><li><b><a href="translator.html">Translator</a></b> to translate messages ina resource bundle file into the target locale language and protect stringsthat should not be translated.</li><li><b><a href="resourcetool.html">Resource Tool</a></b> to merge more than2 resource files to a new resource bundle or find the differences in theresource files.</li></ul><a NAME="The Toolkit Project Management Window"></a><b>The Toolkit ProjectManagement Window</b><p>Due to the Java I18n/L10n Toolkit's unique functionality, there aresome special access and navigation methods used and described in the document.However, unless otherwise noted, each toolkit user interface follows theconventions of the software environment (Solaris or Windows) that it isrunning on.<p>Release information and document for each tool can be accessed throughits help menu.<p><a NAME="Getting started with the Toolkit"></a><b><i>Getting Startedwith the Toolkit</i></b><p>In the command line, change to the proper directory where the toolkitis installed. Then type "jilkit" to get started with the Toolkit projectmanagement window as shown in figure1.<p><img SRC="image/int_main.gif" height=312 width=349><h6>Figure1: Toolkit starts with the project management Window</h6><a NAME="Creating a new project"></a><b><i>Creating a new project</i></b><p>To create a new project file, you should assign the <b>Project filename</b>, <b>Project working directory</b> and <b>Project output directory</b>for it. If these directories are not assigned by you, the system defaultdirectory is user current directory where you start the toolkit running.<br> </div></div><div CLASS="Paragraph"><img SRC="image/int_pro_new.gif" height=445 width=515><h6>Figure2: Create new project</h6></div><ul><li CLASS="FigureCaption">Press <b>Project->New</b>(figure2), a window is pop-up(figure3).</li></ul><ul><img SRC="image/int_pro_new_inp.gif" height=286 width=311><h6>Figure3: Input new project file parameters</h6><li CLASS="FigureCaption">Type the project name in the <b>Project file name</b> text field.
