perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Rich Carlson <>]

Folks;

As Jason noted, the NDT applet has been modified in an effort to 
internationalize the messages.  As I understand it, the key is that 
browsers know how to deal with multiple languages.  To take advantage of 
this, all the messages the NDT Applet can send are now stored in a 
single language specific .properties file.  This file uses a key=value 
pair to map language text to a key.  The browser automatically pulls the 
language text from the specific .properties file when needed.

To extend this to other languages, all that is required is to grab a 
copy of one of the new .properties files.  Use that to get the keys and 
update the text message.  Then send the new .properties file back to 
this list (or specifically to Jason) and the NDT package will be updated.

Thanks to all for the broad support for this approach.

Regards;
Rich
