Class Messages

java.lang.Object
is.codion.common.i18n.Messages
public final class Messages extends Object
A class providing shared internationalization messages for common UI elements and actions throughout the Codion framework.

This class provides localized messages for standard UI operations such as Cancel, OK, Clear, Refresh, and other common actions. Messages are loaded from resource bundles and support multiple locales with automatic fallback to the default locale when translations are not available.

Thread Safety:
This class is thread-safe. All methods are static and the underlying MessageBundle handles concurrent access safely.

Supported Locales:

  • English (default) - Messages.properties
  • Icelandic (is_IS) - Messages_is_IS.properties

Usage Examples:

 // Get localized messages
 String cancelText = Messages.cancel();
 String okText = Messages.ok();
 
 // Get mnemonics for keyboard navigation
 char cancelMnemonic = Messages.cancelMnemonic();
 char clearMnemonic = Messages.clearMnemonic();
 
 // Use in UI components
 JButton cancelButton = new JButton(Messages.cancel());
 cancelButton.setMnemonic(Messages.cancelMnemonic());

Adding New Messages:
To add new messages:

  1. Add the key constant to this class
  2. Add the corresponding entries to all Messages*.properties files
  3. Add public static methods to access the messages
  4. Update this documentation to reflect the new messages

Mnemonic Guidelines:
Mnemonics should be unique within each locale to avoid keyboard navigation conflicts. If a mnemonic string is empty, the corresponding method returns the null character ('\0').
