From the tutorial the process looks rather involved. I want to set up a package containing all the localization stuff. We will have to localize all menu labels, dialog boxes, etc. and we will also have to display numbers and dates in the correct format. I think it would be good if we practiced localizing to English and one other language for now. Instead of just assigning a string to a label we will be calling a method with a key that will return a String in the proper language. What language would people on the list like us to practice with? please give your feedback. Thanks, John -- John J.
