RE: A strange problem about locale.

You got it, thanks.
After I moved up es_mx on the language preference list (so the priority is the highest), everything is fine.
 
But there is another problem, I created a properties file Resources_zh.properties, and I typed in some Chinese characters, then saved it (I used WordPad to edit and save the file), but on the page, the Chinese chars are all "???". Even I changed the Encoding, no help.
 
The produced html source header like below:
 
<html lang="zh">
<head>
  <title>Login</title>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="../externals/styles.css">
  <script src="../externals/lib.js" language="javascript"></script>
</head>
Does the "charset" cause the problem? I remove the charset, no difference.
 
Thanks.

Hi Li:
 
I think the request.getLocale() examine the 'Accept-Language' header coming from the browser. So if the language preference for the browser is set to English(en_us). English locale is always returned - perhaps this explains your problem.
 
hope this helps.

Subject: A strange problem about locale.

I have several properties files as :
 
Resources.properties for English (en)
Resources_es.properties for Spanish
Resources_de.properties for Germany.
 
At first everything worked fine, just as I expected: after I changed the locale in "Regional Options" in Control Panel, the following code will return the correct locale.
   
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) pageContext.getRequest();
    Locale locale = request.getLocale();
 
But after a while (I can't remember what I modified seriously), it doesn't work. Even I set the locale in Regional Options to Spanish, the code always return en_US. And I rebooted several time, no difference
 
Can anybody help  me ? I have Win2000 Professional.
 
Thanks.
