We have a JFileChooser that we use to load directories. When we set
our JVM to run in Spanish, buttons like "OK" and "Cancel" are
localized. But buttons like "Choose" are not.
A little further research shows that the "laf.jar" (deep in
System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM...) seems to contain these localized
strings, and it's only localized in French, Japanese, and German.
(Sure enough, we launch in one of those locales the "Choose" button IS
localized. But if we launch in Spanish, Chinese or Italian, the
"Choose" button is not.)
So what are our options? Our goal is to localize the "Choose" button
into Spanish. Do we need to/can we snake inside the JFileChooser
object, grab that button, and localize it ourselves? That seems like
our best option for now.
Also this is unlike other problems we've seen before, is it safe to
call this a "bug" and file it with Apple? (Has someone already done
so?)
I assume somehow supplementing the "laf.jar" file is completely out of
the question, since it's deep in the System folder. (We probably don't
have permissions anyway, besides the principle of mucking with such an
important class is frightening.)
This appears to be a look-and-feel issue; we don't have this problem on
Windows XP.
Thoughts?
