Developer Facilities

You can add a new locale or variations of existing locales to the Solaris 9 internationalized software environment. If you are a developer responsible for building locales, consult the International Language Environments Guide for additional information.

Messaging Facilities

The Solaris 9 messaging facilities provide localized versions of messages available for a locale. You can add localized messages without recompiling an internationalized application. Messages that are localized use facilities such as the following:

• OS messages that use facilities that conform to XPG4 and POSIX specifications.

• CDE messages that use CDE resource files.

• Java^TM message localization that is implemented with Java resource bundles.
