# Internationalization of webCDcreator

webCDcreator uses the JDK Internationalization APIs to support different languages and countries. The file webCDcreator/Messages.properties contains the default messages of webCDcreator.

## Adding a new translation

If you want to translate a message to your language, you have to add a file webCDcreator/Messages_xx.properties. xx is the ISO-639 language code of the language. You could take my German translation webCDcreator/Messages_de.properties as an example. If you want to share your translation with others, you can send it to me. I will make it available in a future release.

## Selecting a language

Running webCDcreator as an application you can use a language=en argument to set the language (en for English in this case). For the applet you can achieve the same by setting the parameter language to en.
