Other things may need to be internationalized as well:
Character comparisons
These are set separately on Unix/POSIX; on other operating systems, they depend on the
default Locale .
Date and time formats
See the Introduction to Chapter 6 .
Number formats
See java.util.NumberFormat in Formatting Numbers .
Message insertions
These appear in different orders in different languages (something the C-language
printf() could never handle). See java.util.MessageFormat in Formatting Messages
with MessageFormat .
Internationalization Caveats
Internationalizing your menus and buttons is only one step. You also need to internationalize
message text in dialogs as well as help files (see the JavaHelp API (see Javadoc Versus
JavaHelp ) .
Some items, such as AWT FileDialog , use native components—their appearance depends
on the native operating system (your application can change its own default locale, but not
the system's; if your customer has a differently internationalized copy of the same OS, the
file dialogs will appear differently).
