read key from LocalizedResource.properties programmatically

I able to use LocalizedResource.properties with uibinder. let say i have widget that created pro开发者_运维问答grammatically in java file. how to read in key from LocalizedResource.properties depending on language "en,fr..etc" selected by users?

This method doesn't work for GWT because GWT can't translate java classes like Locale and ResourceBUndle to JavaScript.

I just try it.

Locale loc = new Locale(LocaleInfo.getCurrentLocale().getLocaleName());
String key = "AnotherWord";
ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("msgs", loc);

GWT Compilation fail with

[ERROR] Errors in 'file:/K:/programming/eclipse-workspace/polyglotte/src/com/mw/uibinder/client/Polyglotte.java'
  [ERROR] Line 64: No source code is available for type java.util.Locale; did you forget to inherit a required module?
  [ERROR] Line 67: No source code is available for type java.util.ResourceBundle; did you forget to inherit a required module?

May be it will work if I try feed GWT Compiler with java.util.* source codes. But I think it isn't good idea. Why Googlers don't follow this way?

It's difficult to say something definitely.

1. If your LocalizedResource.properties is generated as described by "Internationalization - UiBinder" so I don't understand why you want to read in key from it

2. If .properties made for Message or Constant interface so you could read *fr_CA.properties by http://*.html?locale=fr_CA and so for any languge you want.

3. or try @UiTemplate to switch between tamplates prepared for different languages. To find out current locale you can use LocaleInfo.getLocaleName().

   Helpful link is Apply different XML templates to the same widget

I don't know anything about GWT and UIBinder, but in "Standard Edition" Java, you would create a ResourceBundle of your selected language (Locale), and then use its getString method.

Locale loc = ...;
String key = ...;
ResourceBundle bundle =
     ResourceBundle.getBundle("LocalizedResource", loc);

String value = bundle.getString(key);

Then you can use this string to label your widget.

Please try this and report the success in GWT.
