WARNING: This library needs a new maintainer. I do not intend to do any further updates or releases. If you want to release a maintained fork I'll be glad to point this at your repository. You can rename it (and packages) however you like.

Easy I18N

This is a Java Library that is intended to make it much easier to create internationalized programs. It includes the following features:

• Integration with GNU Gettext
  • Use real strings in your code
  • Include translation context to help your translators
  • Have a real string come out when there is a missing translation
  • Use gettext utilities to extract, merge, manage, and upate them
  • Use GNU utilities to edit the resulting translation files
  • Easy (and superior) support for plurals
• Easier interfacing with Java facilities for //input and output// of:
  • Date and Timestamp
  • Money
  • Numerics
• Numerous methods to support message formatting
• Sample scripts for doing the extraction/merge step

Building

This library uses Maven. You can import it into an IDE as a Maven project, or build it from the command line:

mvn package
