public class Localizer

extends java.lang.Object

This is a wrapper class that handles several localized language files. To use this, you must have some language files somewhere. If you have a package com.microsoft.stupid you could have a dir called lang there with a language file `deutsch'. Then you would call new Localizer() or setLang() with ("/com/microsoft/stupid/lang/",Locale.GERMAN) to initialize this class.
