ndt-users list created

[Richard Carlson <>]

Hi Jon;

Way cool, thanks.

Let me see if I understand what you did.  The text messages the applet 
prints have been moved to a separate 'text resource' file.  The applet 
code has also been modified to pull the text out of this file instead of 
having the text buried in the .java file.  The 'text resource' file has 
a list of tags and the text for that tag in a specific language (English 
and Norwegian for now).  To create a new translation, someone would just 
need to take an existing 'text resource' file and change the text 
strings for the appropriate tag.  To use this new tranlation, simply at 
the "language" tag into the .html file

Does the applet need to be recompiled int the .jar file to use this new 
translation?

I'll put this patch in the NDT contrib directory and will apply it to 
the main branch as well.

This is really great!

Rich
