114 * <p>First, the Formatter localizes the record message to the
115 * default locale by looking up the message in the record's
116 * localization resource bundle. If this step fails because there
117 * is no resource bundle associated with the record, or because the
118 * record message is not a key in the bundle, the raw message is
119 * used instead.
120 *
121 * <p>Second, the Formatter substitutes appropriate strings for
122 * the message parameters. If the record returns a non-empty
123 * array for <code>getParameters()</code> and the localized
124 * message string contains the character sequence "{0", the
125 * formatter uses <code>java.text.MessageFormat</code> to format
126 * the message. Otherwise, no parameter substitution is performed.
127 *
128 * @param record the log record to be localized and formatted.
129 *
130 * @return the localized message text where parameters have been
131 * substituted by suitable strings.
132 *
133 * @throws NullPointerException if <code>record</code>
134 * is <code>null</code>.
