Internationalization - user setting the language manually?

[St...@swisscom.com]

Hi there!

I find the internationalisation feature of struts real nice, but there
is something that is bothering me. What if a browser doesn't have a
language setting, or if the user wants to change to a particular
language just for this one application? On most web-sites the user is
able to set the language himself (clicking on a flag or something), and
I was wondering if this is something that can be/is integrated in
struts? (setting an additional request parameter or something)

Regards,

Stef.

hi Stefan,

if (request.getLocale() == null) {
 yada yada yada...
}
In short what I am saying is that u can have a logic to help solve the 
browserNotSetLocale to do what you want.

The Struts framework checks for messages in this order:
1. The actual locale  (e.g. en_US)
2. Subsets of #1 (e.g. en)
3. Server's default local (your servers locale as define by OS)
4. The default local (default being '' <- that's an empty string)
