Internationalization: tags for different locales?

To describe specific algorithms, it's usefull to use the local language (instead of english) in the javadoc texts. Is there some kind of functionality to support multiple locales?

Example:

/**

* @Locale_EN{This is the englisch description.}

* @Locale_DE{Dies ist die deutsche Beschreibung.}

*

* @param1 @Locale_EN{key} @Locale_DE{schl黶sel}

* @param2 ....

*/

Javadoc does not have this functionality.

Seems useful to me. This was submitted as a formal request, but was closed (without good reason, IMHO). You could

4289667 - i18n: Allow multiple languages in a javadoc; choose a target lang for output doc

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4289667

You could send a request to have them reopen it:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/faq/index.html#email

but it's unlikely it would get implemened any time soon unless it had a lot of votes for it.

This is really funny: the example solution in this request looks almost the same as my suggestion!
