This work presents a tool-based approach for making the concept of Java
internationalization more convenient for practical development projects.
Internationalization denotes a pervasive programming approach for building
multilingual applications efficiently. However, dramatically often, the
expected advantages get lost. Reasons for this fact are a lack of understanding
of cultural, geographical and political differences as well as a
missing overview of the concepts provided in the Java programming language.
In addition, once a product is fully internationalized, it becomes tedious
for developers to keep all the language-specific artifacts up to date and
consistent. The theoretical part of this work addresses the topic of software
internationalization and localization. Based on analyzing the state-of-the-art
of Java internationalization and typical problems occurring in practice, the
practical part focuses on the implementation of development tools for
supporting the internationalization of software-artifacts. For assisting engineers
in the day-to-day development work, the presented tooling is
integrated into one of the most widely used open source development platforms
for Java. The created reference implementation is named TapiJI
(Tooling for agile and process integrated Java Internationalization) and can
be seamlessly integrated into existing development processes. With the use
of context-sensitive as well as general helps, which represent internationalization
tasks transparent, TapiJI reduces both the effort and the
problems due to improper handling of internationalization. Even engineers
with little experience in writing multilingual applications are permanently
advised to ensure high and uniform code quality. The resulting tool suite is
successfully presented in special-interest magazines, published for free usage
and receives a wide acceptance in the open source community.
