Global markets are becoming more and more important to the success of software
developers. As the American and Western European markets reach maturity, more
companies are finding that the areas of large growth lie overseas, and selling
software into international markets requires that the software be properly
internationalized-- that is, that it can be translated easily for each new
market.
The Java language and class libraries have one of the most extensive collections
of features to support software internationalization available, making Java an
excellent choice not only for developing software that can run in a cross-
platform environment, but also for developing software that can run in a
multilingual world. This talk will cover all of the internationalization APIs in
the Java Class Libraries in depth, showing why they are important and how they
are used, including insider's tips on how to use them most effectively. It will
also show how to avoid common pitfalls that make a program much more difficult
to internationalize.
