Internationalizing an entire Tile
I have the I18N support for externalizing strings working great in
Struts/Tiles, but we have several Tiles that are all text and it doesn't
really make sense to copy all that text into the resource bundle and have an
empty Tile that just retrieves the text. I was hoping there was a way to do
something like define a tile.jsp and tile_fr.jsp and have it pick the right
one automatically, but that doesn't seem to be working. Is there a simple
way to accomplish this?

That seems to work pretty well. And it's nice since you only have to
include the definitions that override the standard definitions. Thanks for
the pointer.

I believe Tiles can do this for you, at the expense of a little extra
configuration. The only documentation I can find at the moment is from
the Struts Tile main project page [1], where it says
# Internationalization (i18n)
* It is possible to load different tiles according to Locale.
* A mechanism similar to Java properties files is used for
definitions files: you can have one definition file per Locale. The
appropriate definition is loaded according to the current Locale.
So I suspect you need localized tiles defs to point to your localized
JSPs. Sorry I can't point you at more specific documentation of how this
aspect of Tiles works :-(
