You only need to specify one base name, but provide multiple files with
the various translations for each Locale:
ApplicationResources.properties Default locale
ApplicationResources_es.properties Spanish
ApplicationResources_fr.properties French
ApplicationResources_en_GB.properties British English
(who don't always know
how to spell :-)
and so on.

Check out the JavaDocs for java.util.ResourceBundle, and the section on
Internationalization in the JDK Documentation Set. Even though Struts
doesn't use ResourceBundles internally, the resource files are handled the
same way.
