<title>Internationalizing Applications</title>

|
|
<para>When you internationalize your application — adapting your
|
application for use in different languages and regions — how much you
|
do depends on what you must later localize. Directory servers often support
|
localized user data. OpenDJ directory server supports use of the locales
|
provided by your Java installation, and also supports many language subtypes,
|
for example.</para>
|
|
<para>Therefore if your application is not end user facing and the
|
administrators managing your application all use the same language as you do,
|
you might be content to use language subtypes in LDAP filters, as described
|
in the section on <link xlink:href="dev-guide#about-filters"
|
xlink:role="http://docbook.org/xlink/role/olink"><citetitle>Working With
|
Search Filters</citetitle></link>.</para>
|
|
<para>For end user facing applications where you must return localized
|
messages, and for applications where administrators need localized log
|
messages, you can use the <link xlink:show="new"
