Create a from in your jsp (I do this in my welcome page), something like
(don't cut and paste this as I just quickly typed the following)
<html:form action = "setLocale.do" >
Choose Language :<html:select name="locale">
<html:option value="English">English</html:option>
<html:option value="Spanish">Spanish</html:option>
</html:select><html:submit value="SUBMIT">
</html:form></right>
In the Action class, say SetLocaleAction, determine the selected value from
your jsp and do a setLocale like the code below. From what I've been doing
so far, once I've set the locale, it is persisted throughout the entire
session so all my prompts and messages will be displayed in the
user-selected language.
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
try {
String locale = request.getParameter("locale");
if (locale.equals("Spanish")) {
Locale newlocale = new Locale("es","");
setLocale(request, newlocale);
}
else {
Locale newlocale = new Locale("en","");
setLocale(request, newlocale);
}
return new ActionForward(mapping.getInput());
} catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
ActionError error = new ActionError(e.getMessage());
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, error);
}
saveErrors(request, errors);
return new ActionForward(mapping.getInput());
}
You should have created ApplicationResources.properties_es beforehand.

Subject: RE: changing locale from jsp
Actually, maybe the question should be how do I set the "LOCALE_KEY" for my
session?
I can then change the locale stored under "LOCALE_KEY" myself.
