Class Locale

java.lang.Object
  org.mov.util.Locale

public class Locale
extends java.lang.Object

This class implements internationalisation support for Venice. Each text message displayed by Venice is represented by a string symbol (e.g. "OPEN") which describes the error message being displayed. This symbol is then matched to a internationalistaion file which will then retrieve the local language version of that error message.

If a match could not be found in the current language, it will try to match the symbol in the english (default) language. If it could not find a match there, it will display the string Locale.UNKNOWN.

The internationalisation files are kept in src/org/mov/util/locale/.
