[opencms-dev] Internationalization

[Alexander Kandzior]

Ivan,

I suggest using standard java.util.ResourceBundles for this. We are
moving to this technology for the core releases also. As an example on
how to uses this in an OpenCms page, have a look at the
/system/login/index page and the corrosponding core class
com.opencms.workplace.CmsLoginNew. 

Best Regards,
Alex.
