In the GNU gettext approach, the keys are the English/ASCII version of the messages. <LI>In the Sun approach, the translation files are called "<VAR>Resource</VAR>_<VAR>locale</VAR>.properties" and have non-ASCII characters encoded in the Java <CODE>\</CODE><CODE>u<VAR>nnnn</VAR></CODE> syntax. Very few editors can natively display international characters in this format. In the GNU gettext approach, the translation files are called "<VAR>Resource</VAR>.<VAR>locale</VAR>.po" and are in the encoding the translator has chosen. Many editors can be used. There are at least three GUI translating tools (Emacs PO mode, KDE KBabel, GNOME gtranslator). <LI>In the Sun approach, the function <CODE>ResourceBundle.getString</CODE> throws a <CODE>MissingResourceException</CODE> when no translation is found. In the GNU gettext approach, the <CODE>gettext</CODE> function returns the (English) message key in that case. <LI>In the Sun approach, there is no support for plural handling. Even the most elaborate MessageFormat strings cannot provide decent plural handling. In the GNU gettext approach, we have the <CODE>ngettext</CODE> function. </UL> <P> To compile GNU gettext message catalogs into Java ResourceBundle classes, the <CODE>msgfmt</CODE> program can be used. <P> <HR> <P> <!-- ======== INNER CLASS SUMMARY ======== --> <!-- =========== FIELD SUMMARY =========== --> <A NAME="field_summary"><!-- --></A> <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="0"
