Multilingual Application using Java:
Solution and Example
Abstract:This report describes solutions to create multilingual applications using Java. These
solutions aims at Natural Language Processing, and more precisely for the data
preparation. A Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is needed to run any Java program. A JVM
is embedded in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) which defines the basic
environment of the JVM (default locale, default fonts, default security policy, etc ...). A
default JRE installation does not contain enough settings and resources to handle
different languages to be input or displayed. Therefore, this report will describe how to
setup a chosen JRE to run correctly internationalized and localized multilingual
applications.
