Question

I’m developing an app for the nokia e75 using j2me. What is a good way of showing content in the right lang? I don’t think that java beans are an option.

Just to be clear; the problem isn’t to know what the lang is of the device, but how to generate the right content knowing the lang the user uses.

thx

Answer 1

I’m using following strategy:

1. Storing resources in Java properties files, like “KEY=Value”
2. Separate resources for each language, like: messages_en, messages_fr, messages_gr and so on
3. Use in code instead of static Strings references to Keys from properties

4. Detect language using

   System.getProperty(“microedition.locale”);

5. After locale detection load appropriate language resource
