String and internationalization

+Pie Number of slices to send: Send

Hi
Does java.lang.String support internationalization fully. Which all functions doesnt support?
what are the issues i need to take care of when using string?
is it a good idea to use a wrapper for String class for internationalization.

What do you mean by "Does String support FULLY internationalization"?
Internationalization is supported through the use of ResourceBundles (see the tutorial on the site of Sun, or the javadoc). Depending on how your Locale is set, you will get Ja, Yes, Oui, Da ... on a call.

There is no method in the String class supporting internationalization, if you give to "internationalization" the standard meaning. Can you give an example or develop your idea?

The following ideas come from the following book:
Java Internationalization (O'Reilly March 2001) by Andrew Deitsch & David Czarnecky
You should not use the compareTo and equals method of the String class to compare "international" strings. Instead you should use the abstract class java.text.Collator.
First get an instance of the collator (here an instance of a collator for a french locale)

Then, use either collator.compare() or collator.equals() to compare two strings. Both methods take the two strings arguments and return an integer...
