Thanks Hayden, I set the supportin locales in dspace.cfg to be something like this: webui.supported.locales = en, th, ja
And then deployed the DSpace. There is no problem to have them switch between each locales. But I found it very tricky because the Messages_LOCALE.properties files are not anywhere in DSpace paths! I took a look at /path/to/my/repository/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/classes, it is just an empty directory! Where are those different language messages from? Does the system read them directly from http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/modules/dspace-api-lang/trunk/src/main/resources ? One more thing, I downloaded the Messages_th.properties, and Messages_ja.properties in order to make some necessary modifications. But they are in something like native codes. Is there some tools we can convert them to human readable form. Sorry if this is a too basic question. If possible the instruction should be included as comments in the files.
