i18n

[Johan Peeters <jo...@alcatel.be>]

I am having trouble configuring my application with alternate resource
bundles. I have a properties file 'ApplicationResources.properties' from
which struts messages are pulled, just like in the Struts example
application. I have added a file (same directory) called
'ApplicationResources_nl_BE.properties'. Since I configured my browser
to give preference to the nl_BE locale, I expect that the messages in
the latter properties file would be used, but they are not. This does
not seem to be specific to my application: when I similarly add
ApplicationResources_nl.properties to the Struts example, the default
resource bundle continues to be used.
Am I missing something or does the struts:message tag not support yet?

Many Thanks,

Yo

At the moment, Struts does not pay direct attention to the "Accept-Language"
header that your browser sends when it is configured for specific language
preferences.  Instead, it assumes that you have stored a java.util.Locale
object in the user's session, under key "org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE"
(i.e. the value of Action.LOCALE_KEY in the org.apache.struts.action.Action
interface) to identify the user's current preferences.  If no locale is
found here, Struts defaults to the server's default locale.

Paying attention to the Accept-Language header is something that you ought
to be able to configure Struts to do, and I will be looking into that.
