Inserting an Internationalized String Into Source Code
See Also
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 pop-up menu, or use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Shift-J).
The Insert Internationalized String dialog box appears allowing you to edit
each string in the file consecutively. If no internationalization resource bundle
exists for the file, you can click the New button to create a new properties
file in which to save internationalized strings. To choose a different .properties file,
click Browse.
- 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.
