refer java.lang.Locale
Almost all the frameworks are supporting I18n, it is more easy with Frameworks.

Please use real words when posting to the forums. Abbreviations such as "plzz" in place of "please" only serve to make your posts more difficult to read and less likely to generate useful responses.

Please read this for more information.

To test internationalization using your browser, it's easy to do it with Firefox. You should install an add-on called "quick locale switcher".

[Ulf Dittmer]

It's not necessary to install any add-ons. In Firefox you can select different languages under "Preferences -> Content -> Languages".

It is really easy to set different languages (locales) in Internet Explorer (Version 8).
Tools -> Internet Options -> Languages (on General Tab)

If you want to set different locale in windows, you may try Control Panel -> Regional And Language Options.

To test it, you may write a sample program to display Date using locale.
