Inserting an Internationalized String Into Source Code
The Insert Internationalized String command enables you to add internationalization
strings one at a time as you create the source.
To insert an internationalized string into your source code:
- In the Source Editor, put the insertion point at the location in the source
file where you want to insert an internationalized string.
- Right-click the desired location and choose Tools
Internationalization
Insert Internationalized
String from the contextual menu, or use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Shift-J).
The Internationalize dialog box displays, showing the .properties
file into which the internationalized strings will be saved in the Bundle
Name field. The Replace Format field gives you a preview of the internationalized
string.
- To choose a different .properties file, click Browse. Alternatively,
you can click New to create a new properties file in which to save the internationalized
strings. The .properties suffix is added to the file name you specify.
- Click Format if you want to change the method used to generate the localized
string.
- Click Arguments if you want to add arguments to the method call. You can
only add arguments to the method call if you use the java.text.MessageFormat
or org.openide.util.NbBundle.getMessage formats.
- Type in values for the Key and Value properties and click OK. The internationalized
string is added to the source code at the cursor location.
