i18n
Hello everyone,
i'm a new struts user and i have a question about i18n.
i did two properties files, let's say:
com.myproject.ApplicationResources.properties (english)
com.myproject.ApplicationResources_fr.properties (french)
in my web.xml, i set the init-param "application" to
"com.myproject.ApplicationResources"
i load my servlet and the log says it has load my ResourceBundle
successfully.
but now, how can i associate a specific language to a HttpSession??
as an example, i used the logon.jsp shipped with the struts example..
i set my browser (ie 5) to select French as my "favorite" language, but
when i access the logon.jsp, it's always the english message that are
printed..
i added a print out out request.getLocale() in my jsp and it prints the
good locale, so my browser config is correct.
can someone please indicate me what is missing/wrong?
thanks a lot! and keep up the good work.

oups, stupid reply to myself!
i forgot to say i'm using tomcat (embedded) with jboss on windows 2000,
i don't know if this matters.
i'll try it with my linux install at home..

We ran across the same problem a few months ago.
The ActionSerlvet sets the current locale in the session when the first
action is called. Thereafter, the processLocale() function retrieves it
out of the session, rather than checking if the locale has changed.
We chose to over-ride the processLocale function. If we are running in
debug mode, the locale is retrieved from the request and reset in the
session for each action. This allows us to test language translation
much easier/faster.
However, there is another method.
IE (and I am pretty sure Netscape) store one session. So if you have
multiple browser sessions running, they will all use the same session.
Likewise, the session will not be removed from memory unless ALL browser
sessions are closed. This means that if you start IE with Engish as
your preferred language, then Struts sets the language in the session to
be english (after the first action is called). You will not see your
language change (even though you changed it in the browser) until you
restart IE. This will force the session to be closed, and a new one
started. On the next action, the locale should be set to the new
language (French).
I hope this helps,
Pete

I believe there's a gotcha where the default locale is set according to
the server's default, rather than the user's browser settings.
Here's an example of adding a drop-down box to select a language

Hello Eric,
To set the locale that struts uses, I put this code at the top of my
index.jsp:
<%
Locale locale = request.getLocale();
session.setAttribute(Action.LOCALE_KEY, locale);
%>
