Hi Nashwan,

We provided localization instructions around JDK6/7 time at the following URL:
http://openjdk.java.net/groups/i18n/

However, there was lack of interest, so we did not continue with the project. The instructions is outdated now. If there is still interest in adding translation for various languages to openjdk, we need come up with updated instruction and process.

About the files to translate, I suspect most people are only interested in translating resource files in rt.jar (or a subset of it). Is this what you have in mind? Below is a list of (for example) Spanish files in rt.jar

% jar tvf rt.jar | grep _es

Hi Nashwan,

As to whether Java supports Arabic or not, it *does* support Arabic as follows:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/javase7locales-334809.html

However, you are right that Arabic translations for those UIs are not included in the run time.

Hi Everyone, I am Nashwan Doaqan a Web Developer from Yemen, I was
wondering with some of my friends why the Arabic language is not supported?!

I am The Arabic Validator in the WordPress project, and I can help you to
translate all the strings in Java UI to the Arabic langauge.
