Hi Roller developers,

Thanks for your excellent working, produced out an excellent interactive web
site platform.
But is it only for people speaking English? Just kidding ;-).

Roller uses many ways to find locale for i18n messages. Consider following
methods to get a locale:
Locale.getDefaultLocale(),
request.getLocale(),
RollerSession.getRollerSession(request).getAuthenticatedUser().getLocale()
For a real web site for global users, it's quit common that all these
locales have different values.
Current codes use all these different locales to get i18n message, which
leads to different languages even on a single page.
More important, the Locale.getDefaultLocale() return server JVM's default
locale, which is considered leading web application unportable and should be
avoid in J2EE web applications. As JSTL ResourceBundle lookup algorithm have
make special change against the standart J2SE ResourceBundle lookup
algorithm. Unfortunately many i18n translated message in roller is generated
according to it, especially in rendering system.

Detailed information of critical i18n problems has been posted to JIRA as 
http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/roller/browse/ROL-1413 ROL-1413 ,
with a patch file to address them.
There should be more i18n related issues which are more obscured to
discover. I'd like to dig more into it later.

Regards,
Miles.
