java.util.PropertyResourceBundle - Resource Bundles as Properties Files
This section provides a tutorial example on how to create resource bundles (localization key names with their localized text messages) as properties file for the java.util.PropertyResourceBundle concrete class.
The PropertyResourceBundle class, java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, is a concrete subclass of the java.util.ResourceBundle class. It implements resource bundles by reading properties files which contains static maps of localization key names and localized text messages.
Now let's define some localization key names and localized text messages for some general note messages using properties files for the java.util.PropertyResourceBundle class:
1. Mapping NoteMessage key names to localized text messages for the default locale with file name of NoteMessage.properties:
STARTING_SYSTEM=Starting the system... LOADING_SETTINGS=Loading user's settings...
Note that:
2. Mapping NoteMessage key names to localized text messages for the fr locale with file name of NoteMessage_fr.properties:
STARTING_SYSTEM=Commencer le système... LOADING_SETTINGS=Les arrangements de l'utilisateur de chargement...
3. Mapping NoteMessage key names to localized text messages for the fr and CA locale with file name of NoteMessage_fr_CA.properties
Mapping NoteMessage keys to the fr and CA locale, file name: NoteMessage_fr_CA.properties
LOADING_SETTINGS=Commencer à charger les arrangements de l'utilisateur..
