The Internationalize dialog box enables you to replace any hard-coded string in your resource bundle with an internationalized string. The Internationalize dialog box locates each occurrence of hard-coded strings in the source file; you can internationalize each string found or skip a string as you choose. If you have several Java sources to internationalize into one or more resource bundles, you can save time by using the Internationalization wizard to internationalize the files into several resource bundles at once.
To automatically internationalize source code:
The Internationalize dialog box appears showing the first quoted text string found in the Value text field.
Alternatively, you can click New... to create a new properties file in which to save the internationalized strings.
The next string to be internationalized is then displayed in the Value text field. Continue until all strings are replaced.
Click Skip to skip over a string you do not want to internationalize. The cursor moves to the next string and the string is highlighted. When the last string has been replaced, the dialog box automatically closes.
To get information about the highlighted string in the Source Editor, click Info to see the name of the component containing the string, and the property the string is associated with.
