Yasser Zamani commented on WW-4742: ----------------------------------- [~mtsbarbosa], your application should not reach those lines normally because those lines will execute only if Struts cannot resolve your key (i.e. Obrigatório) to a value. If you want just a constant string (i.e. "Obrigatório - not mapped word in any dictionary") there, then you do not need +<@s.text+ tag at all and if you need to resolve the "Obrigatório" to a string according to user selected locale, then create a file named <your_action_name>_<locale>.properties beside your action which returns that ftl and *save it as ISO-8859-1* e.g. {code:title=MyFtlAction.properties|borderStyle=solid} Obrigatório=Obrigatório - not mapped word in any dictionary {code} {code:title=MyFtlAction_de.properties|borderStyle=solid} Obrigatório=Obrigatório - not mapped word in any dictionary in de {code} then *save your message.ftl as UTF-8* as below {code:title=message.ftl|borderStyle=solid} ... <@s.text name="Obrigatório - not mapped word in any dictionary" /> ... {code} Currently Struts just pass a Locale to freemarker rather than any encoding, so freemarker uses it's default (UTF-8) to read your ftl files. I will be working on it if Struts can also provide the encoding for underlying freemarker, which will enable you to save ftl files as different encodings.
