>                 Key: WW-4677
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4677
>             Project: Struts 2
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Core Interceptors
>    Affects Versions: 2.5
>         Environment: 2.5.1 running on Java 8, RHEL Linux 6/7 
>            Reporter: Zoran Avtarovski
>             Fix For: 2.5.3
>

> There is an annoying issue with the I18N Interceptor, which now validates locales against the list of default available locales in this bit of code:
> {code:java}
> if (locale != null && Arrays.asList(Locale.getAvailableLocales()).contains(locale)) {
>     locale = Locale.getDefault();
> }
> {code}
> The problem is I have a web app for refugees and not all the languages are in the available locales array. This must be relatively new as it worked in the old version 2.x ish.
> Ideally it would be great if we could add a parameter (or constant) to bi-pass the validation.
> For example a tag in the struts.xml file:
> {code:xml}
> <interceptor-ref name="I18nInterceptor">
>   <param name="validation">
>      false
>   </param>
> </interceptor-ref>
> {code}
> and then access it in the interceptor to override default behaviour.
