Purpose

This code will detect the country of the running JRE and then load the appropriate country's translation strings.

Requirements

  • This code must determine the appropriate country and its country code.
    • This code must load the appropriate translation key file based on the country code.

Design details

  • This code will use the java Locale api to determine the current country code in the following fashion:
Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
locale.getLanguage()

Then it will load the appropriate property code based on a file name specified by the country code.

Impacts of this enhancement

  • The SDD runtime will be able to dynamically load localization files for the translation strings used in the UI.

Open Issues/Questions

Do we need to code in any exceptions, for instance if a country's file is not found?
