I would like to see a some method of internationalizing the message the is drawn to the screen when the installed JRE version is less than 1.3.

At the moment I am overwriting the paint method as below. However it would be nice to be able to do this by creating an array of error messages with each different language. Or something equally simple.


String lang = "de";
synchronized public void paint(Graphics screen) {
 super.paint(screen);
 if (javaVersion < 1.3f) {
   if(lang.equals("de")){
     screen.setColor(new Color(64, 64, 64));
     Dimension size = getSize();
     screen.fillRect(0, 0, size.width, size.height);
     screen.setColor(Color.white);
     screen.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 9));
   
     screen.drawString("Um diesen Inhalt sehen zu können, ", 3, 15);
     screen.drawString("müssen Sie Java 1.3 oder neuer ", 3, 28);
     screen.drawString("installieren.", 3, 41);
     screen.drawString(" ", 3, 59);
     screen.drawString("Klick hier um Java zu installieren.", 3, 72);
     return;
   }
 }
}
