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.
