public static java.lang.String format(java.lang.String pattern,
                                      java.lang.Object[] arguments)

This method implements the same behavior as MessageFormat.format() but adds support for one additional qualifer: l8n. When this qualifier is specified as part of a pattern argument, the corresponding argument will be localized by searching the messages file for a key of the same value as the specified argument. For example if the following pattern is supplied:

Unable to find {0,l8n}

where argument zero is: RETAIL_ACCOUNT this method will attempt to localize argument zero by looking in the messages file for a key named RETAIL_ACCOUNT and substitute the corresponding localized value into the pattern, giving a result that should look like this:

Unable to find Retail Account
