|
MessageFormatter is a concrete class that enables users to produce
|
|
concatenated, language-neutral messages. The methods supplied in this
|
|
class are used to build all the messages that are seen by end users.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
The MessageFormatter class assembles messages from various fragments (such
|
|
as text fragments, numbers, and dates) supplied by the program. Because of
|
|
the MessageFormatter class, the program does not need to know the order of
|
|
the fragments. The class uses the formatting specifications for the
|
|
fragments to assemble them into a message that is contained in a single
|
|
string within a resource bundle. For example, MessageFormatter enables you
|
|
to print the phrase "Finished printing x out of y files..." in a manner
|
|
that still allows for flexibility in translation.

|

|
|
Previously, an end user message was created as a sentence and handled as a
|
|
string. This procedure created problems for localizers because the
|
|
sentence structure, word order, number format and so on are very different
|
|
from language to language. The language-neutral way to create messages
|
|
keeps each part of the message separate and provides keys to the data.
|
|
Using these keys, the MessageFormatter class can concatenate the parts of
|
|
the message, localize them, and display a well-formed string to the end
|
|
user.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
MessageFormatter takes a set of objects, formats them, and then inserts
|
|
the formatted strings into the pattern at the appropriate places. Choice
|
|
formats can be used in conjunction with MessageFormatter to handle
|
|
plurals, match numbers, and select from an array of items. Typically, the
|
|
message format will come from resources and the arguments will be
|
|
dynamically set at runtime.
