Does Delphi support internationalization in any way? I've seen that I can add different languages for a project, but that seems to create multiple instances of the dfm files.

From within ActionMapper.getMapping(), how do I set the locale for the current action? Here are some ideas I've considered: ActionContext.getCurrent().setLocale().

I need good word-wrapping handling for Java.
