Java Internationalization
On the Internet, there are almost no barriers against international
commerce. Except for language. Unfortunately, most software is still
written in English. Java Internationalization shows how to write software
that is truly multi-lingual, using Unicode, a standard system that supports
hundreds of character sets, which are applicable for most modern languages
and many ancient ones. English-only software is already obsolete. Java
Internationalization brings Java developers up to speed on the new
generation of software development: writing software that is no longer
limited by language boundaries.
This book explores Java Unicode and provides concrete examples for using
its features to create multilingual user interfaces; to correctly format
currency, dates and times; and to ensure font support for different
languages.
