I've created MyFileChooser that extends JFileChooser. So I want to localize its UI. This code doesn't work - all labels are still in english. I tried to do it in this way: UIManager.put("MyFileChooser.lookInLabelText", rb.getString("lookInLabelText")); but it didn't help.

  • why have you extended the chooser? Is the normal (that is not extended) chooser localized correctly? What exactly did you do? – kleopatra Nov 20 '12 at 11:07

You need to set those properties before you create the JFileChooser (for example, doing it in the MyFileChooser constructor is too late, because the super contructor is already called at that point).

You might work around (haven't tested) by calling updateUI() on the file chooser after setting the properties.
