The advantage of the proposed "trick" is that you don't have to write any checking code. > But I'm not sure it's worth having special processing just some users > of the English version don't have to download the additional jar. What special processing?

That's true. But I don't think it's a big problem. Again, that's the (small) price to pay for being able to propose a library without localization and zero dependency while allowing a "pluggable" translation feature. > That is just making extra work. I'm willing to do it (it's just writing a few words!).

Yes, and how do I do that?
