Set locale(Language support) in java

Question

The inbuilt java supports only for few languages.I want to use Sinhala language as locale in my jTextPane in java programme.How can i do this ?.Pls help me...

Answer 1

AFAIK inbuilt Java supports it. Just create locale: Locale locale = new Locale("si", "LK"); (si for Sinhala and LK for Sri Lanka). A corresponding bundle could be for example messages_si_LK.properties. You can also use a language code alone. Then: Locale locale = new Locale("si"); and file messages_si.properties. And you have to take care of fonts.
