Internationalization (Revision #15)

Now, the entire application has been Internationalized. The initial interface is obtained by checking the OS language settings. Users can select their interface language within File > Options > General > Interface Language. Development for localized versions besides English is on-going.

- initial interface language is obtained from the OS

- every text string visible to the user must be localized

- localized resources (*.prompts) generated by Localizer tool are placed in src-rep/src/apps/datastudio/com/aquafold/datastudio/resource folder.

To Be Determined:

- date/time/number format options

- local sorting options

Options

- select interface language

- language change requires restart

Testing

add -Di18n.test.mode=1 to the list of JVM options.  Internationalized prompts will be marked with a • dot character (u2022).  Make sure there are no u2022 symbols in the preferences, as it indicates incorrect implementation.

Setting -Di18n.test.mode=2 results in a prompt key to appear instead of the dot character.
