There's a package (I can't remember the name of it) that's part of the
standard Java lib that has a bunch of classes for handling
internationalization. These include defining resource bundles for text,
and so forth. Java was designed from the beginning to be international
(i.e. it's not an add-on). In fact, its strings are unicode-based, not
ASCII-based.
I've not done much work with internationalization, but it seems that Java
has everything you need.

No, I don't hear voices in my head;
I'm the one that tells the voices in your head what to say.
