I don't think Swing (or any other part of the JDK classes for that matter)
would reach out to an application classloaded resource.
Also the translations are in resource classes buried in the implementation
and you have to get the source of the class to even know what you were
supposed to provide and translate.

FWIW I do not believe there is any British English resource translation in
the JDK classes either .. nor Canadian for that matter :-)

I suspect there was so little different it was not worth it even though
the bar to entry is pretty low here.

You can ask the localization (or is that localisation ? :-) team what they
have to say .. cc'd Michael Fang.
