Internationalization
You can add a global set of messages with the base name Messages (for example
Messages_en.properties ) at the root of the class path.
Automatic lookup in parent bundle
When a key is not found in the component bundle, or when there is no bundle for the
currrent component, the global resource bundle is consulted. As such, you might use the
global bundle for all resources, and place overrides in the per component bundle.
Friendly error messages
In stead of throwing an exception when a key is not available in your bundle, the value will
simply be [key] . This makes it easy to spot your errors, and your UI is still fully functional
while you add the missing keys.
Configuring the locale
The default locale is the one retrieved from Locale.getDefault() . You can configure a
different locale by issuing:
FX.locale = Locale("my-locale")
The global bundle will automatically be changed to the bundle corresponding to the new
locale, and all subsequently loaded components will get their bundle in the new locale as
well.
Overriding resource bundles
If you want to change the bundle for a component after it's been initialized, or if you simply
want to load a spesific bundle without relying on the conventions, simply assign the new
bundle to the messages property of the component.
If you want to use the overriden resource bundle to load FXML , make sure you change the
bundle before you load the root view:
class MyView: View() {
init { messages = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MyCustomBundle") }
override val root = HBox by fxml()
}
