This is called localization (or l10n in the corpospeak vernacular).

You'll want to look into java.util.ResourceBundle and its children (eg. PropertyResourceBundle). These allow you to have the same set of resources in many different languages. The language that is selected is based on your locale, so that if the target machine's locale is set to Italian, that is the language that you'll see on the menus and whatnot.
