hi, this is with reference to my earlier question yesterday regarding resource bundles and languages like arabic and japanese. As suggested by you i have created the file for the above languages and stored them in a resource bundle file with .properties extension and valid charsets. My goal is to build a menu with different language i.e if i run my program saying: java myprog fr FR (french) my menu is displayed in french and similarly in resource bundles. if i say the same in japanese or arabic however i am seeing junk characteres. kindly suggest me a solution to this problem.
