I'm still missing a piece. Translation is typically done after the fact, 
without access to the source code or requiring a re-compilation. 
Further, the selection of which national resource to use must be 
dynamic. It sounds very much like in this scheme key names are constants 
in the code, like:

public static final String KEY1 = "hello";

How does this change to "bonjour" when I am in France?
