If only language then it will try that. So the order for a locale of 'es_ES' will look for files in this order
1. ApplicationProperties_es_ES.properties 2. ApplicationProperties_es.properties 3. ApplicationProperties.properties
So if you have a locale of 'es' then it will try
1. ApplicationProperties_es.properties 2. ApplicationProperties.properties
If a key is missing in the most specific property, it will check the next one in the list. English example:
ApplicationProperties.properties: home.greeting=Greetings ApplicationProperties.properties: home.farewell=Farewell ApplicationProperties_en.properties: home.greeting=Hello ApplicationProperties_en.properties: home.farewell=Goodbye ApplicationProperties_en_US.properties: home.greeting=Howdy ApplicationProperties_en_AU.properties: home.greeting=G'day Mate ApplicationProperties_en_NZ.properties: home.farewell=See ya
So someone from en_NZ would see 'Hello' as it would use the home.greeting key from ApplicationProperties_en.properties.
So someone from en_NZ would see 'See ya' as it would use the home.farewell key from ApplicationProperties_en_NZ.properties.
You could put 90% of the en language into the _en file, and just put keys where things like spelling change in the country specific parts.

Hello list,
We're building an internationalized site, and we're having an issue with locales and resource bundles. If we have two specific resource bundles for Spanish from Spain (ApplicationProperties_es_ES.properties) and Spanish from Argentina (ApplicationProperties_es_AR.properties), one would think a browser arriving with a locale/user-agent of es_MX would be caught by one of the two es_* properties file, but infact es_MX gets the default English properties file, unless there is specifically a ApplicationProperties_es.properties file.
Is this the expected behavior?
Thx
