- totalcross.util.I18N

```
public class I18N
extends java.lang.Object
```
I18N is entity that supports internationalized applications. Its structure contains a Map of all values registred in an xml file. For instance, if you want to define values for Portguese language whose ISO 639 code is pt, then create a xml file with the path <source patch</resources/i18n/pt.xml. contaning the following format:
```
 <resources>
        <string name="hello_world">Olá mundo!</string>
 </resources>
 
```
Then initialize values on the MainWindow Constructor an get hello_world value as follow:
```
     public class App extends MainWindow {
     public App() {
         I18N.initialize();
     }

     @Override
     public void initUI() {
                I18N.pt.get("hello_world");
     }
 
```
