Setting an Internationalizated String With the Form Editor
If you have a GUI application, you can use the Form Editor to
internationalize the text strings in the GUI form.
To insert an internationalized string with the Form Editor:
- Open a form
- In the Component Inspector, locate the GUI component's property that you
want to internationalize (for example, the text property of jLabel).
- Select the property and click the ellipsis (...) button to open the Property
Editor.
- At the top of the dialog select Resource bundle mode.
- The Bundle Name field displays the .properties file into which
the internationalized strings will be saved. 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 Replace Format field gives you a preview of the internationalized string.
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.
