Description

There are several bugs that pertain to changing the various messaging strings
that the user sees (general UI text, labels etc) or may potentially see (error
messages etc). Relevant bugs have been marked as dependencies of this bug, for
tracking purposes

As an approach to this tasks, I suggest looking at using Java's inbuilt
localization functionality, which offers the following benefits:

1) standard and well-tested framework already in place as part of the JDK - no
need to create our own solution

2) Gathers all these strings in one place, so text changes can be addressed
easily now and in future

3) Gives us the benefit of being able to internationalize the app easily at a
later date, when demand escalates in non-English-speaking countries...
