We'll be using the BIP39 implementation present in Bitcoinj as slush says.

We generate the word list internally (12,18,24) and confirm it is entered
correctly through a retyping operation. This will allow us to detect
character encoding transpositions (e.g. u0032 vs u00a0) and alert the user
before it becomes an issue.
While English is the language of the first word list to be implemented, we
would definitely integrate alternative non-English word lists to make life
easier for the global community. In general the approach would be for the
user to select their language (implying a locale) and then the word list to
be selected from that locale if available with a fallback to English. This
follows the same approach as resource bundles in Java.
