Im developing software for the Japanese market, does PersonalJava support internationalization?
A. Yes. The PersonalJava 1.1 and 3.0 API’s include internationalization (i18n) support. Internationalization is the process of enabling a program to run internationally without recompilation. The PersonalJava platform supports the internationalization features of JDK 1.1.x. Once an application is internationalized, enabling it to run in a particular country is a matter of creating a “locale” bundle for that country and language. The PersonalJava platform supports the i18n features of JDK 1.1. However, to conserve RAM usage, PersonalJava implementations can be configured to support just the desired set of locales. The Truffle Graphical Toolkit which is part of the PersonalJava 3.0 application environment supports input methods for Asian language text entry.
