Translate Java keywords and Arabic Java

[Waleed Oransa]

Hello all,

I would like to know if translation of Java keywords is possible and where
should I start to do so. I assume that the keywords are listed some where
and what I am looking for is to provide Arabic Java for kids to learn Java
in Arabic.

Of course this can be done using simple replacement tool that replace the
Arabic translation of Java keywords with the correct Java keywords (in
English), but I thought if this can be done in JDK compiler will be better
and easier, also it can provide out of the box support in Eclipse and other
IDEs.

I am address this technical question to this mail list but I would
appreciate if any one can help me in the legal issue and if this is possible
to base Arabic Java JDK on Open JDK without legal issue or not.

Again, I think this is aligned with Oracle recent initiative in Java One to
allow more languages to be used with the Java platform (if we consider
Arabic Java is a new language !!).
