Hi Abasith,
Good day. As per our project requirment, we need to have 2 versions of Application. One in English & Arabic. Our Idea to implement Arabic is to have a properties file.(Resource bundle). But I cannot see the Arabic letters in property file created using Arabic. So we moved to Word pad & saved the document as Arabic. I am able to reach the properties. But when i use to get the string from there I m getting an exception No resource bundle found for locale.
This is my code.
public class Test1 {
public static void main(String s[]){
ResourceBundle resource_bundle; // The Resource Bundle super class
Locale locale;
locale = new Locale("ar","AR");
System.out.println(locale.getCountry());
try {
resource_bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("tryone_"+locale, locale);
//System.out.println( resource_bundle.toString());
System.out.println("Resource Bundle here "+resource_bundle.getKeys().toString());
Enumeration en = resource_bundle.getKeys();
while (en.hasMoreElements()){
     System.out.println("Elements "+en.nextElement().toString());
System.out.println(resource_bundle.getString("Myname"));
System.out.println(resource_bundle.getLocale());
} catch (MissingResourceException mre) {
     mre.printStackTrace(); }
Can u help me how to go about. I am totally new to this Internationalization.
Thanks in Advance
