Although some might argue that this is a feature request, I think
it is a bug: 

The text displayed in the java.awt.FileDialog
window are all in English. They are built-in and cannot be changed
without recompiling the source code. 

This of course is not in the spirit of reusable code. It is strange
that on the one hand Java uses complicated Unicode characters to 
support foreign languages, but on the other hand fixes the language 
of file dialogs to be English. 

It should be possible to specify the text in the constructor call or at 
least have them stored in fields that can be overridden by a subclass 
of java.awt.FileDialog.

EVALUATION

I was unable to locate any locale-dependent strings in the source.  This was probably an old bug, probably a duplicate of 4152317.
