Thanks for the reply Ron, I've heard of people using Accept-Language before but have my own doubts about that. For example, using Tomcat's example servlet to examine the request. ( http://127.0.0.1:8080/examples/servlet/RequestHeaderExample ) I find that accept-language is always "en-us" on my system. That doesn't necessarily mean that the person using my PC wants to read English. I can just as easily read French or asian languages on my PC.
As for your other question, no, I don't keep all content in properties files. The bulk of it is database generated since it's a shopping catalog. Storing all site content in properties files would drive me insane. Thanks for your help. Stephen.
