How do I localize my log messages?

You can assign a ResourceBundle with a logger. If you don't, it will inherit the ResourceBundle from its parent. The following example localizes a message based on the current locale. Comment out the first line and it will use the default locale (eg. en_US) and hence our ListResourceBundle MyLogResources.

Notice that you can set MessageFormat parameters ({0}, {1}, ...) by using another form of the log method.
