This is how I usually handle I18N request for a project. In the very
beginning, it is definitely a low priority. First, I do not know whether
the project can be successful or not. Second, the project may target
for customer in one region in the beginning. We have time constraint and
need to finish all the important function first.
Sometime late,
we need to support i18N. I need to go through every constant string in
java code, facelet xhmtl file to find out all of them, and save them in
property files. Each Message has an well-assigned message key. If I
missed one string at release time, I have postpone that string to next
release. That sucks, isn't it? Once I have finish this, I need to carefully maintain the
property file. This process is time-consuming and require some strict discipline.
Moreover, in some dynamic system, the constant string
is no known at develop time. property file approach is completely
useless in these situations.
This library provides a solution
that handle i18N at background. Both developers and end users can
participate the i18N process.
Finally, I am tired to translate 'Save' so many times in so any projects.
Here, I introduce a library which play magic at background. Developer no needs to worry about the i18n issue. It can be handled at any time with ease.
