One way you can do this is using property files. Prop_ file name _ language code.properties
So for say abc.jsp , you have abc_en.properties and abc_fr.properties. At comple time the JSP calls a class you write at server which gives say <% String languageCode = ObjectName.getLaguageCode(param 1 ,param 2); %> Then all JSP elements are picked from there.
