Obviously this way your components won't be loosely coupled, this is a nasty compromise expecially if you have to distribute your components. Thank you for your comment, it gives me motivation to think to a different approach. Best wishes, Alessandro Hi Norbert,

Thank you for your comment, it gives me motivation to think to a different approach.

Best wishes, Alessandro

Anyway, doesn't your approach only help on the application level? If you want to create a component using the same technique, you would have to add (copy) those methods to the components super class, which is not so nice ... What do you think? Hi Alessandro,
I’m always interested in simplifying localization. Anyway, doesn’t your approach only help on the application level? If you want to create a component using the same technique, you would have to add (copy) those methods to the components super class, which is not so nice …

What do you think?
