What you can do is have a jsp for each locale language such as page_fr.jsp and page_en.jsp.
Your application can store the locale in the user's session object. Your application can update the session locale when the user switches between en & fr. You can have the following forwards for the action in the struts-config.xml: <forward name="en" path="/WEB-INF/page_en.jsp"> </forward> <forward name="fr" path="/WEB-INF/page_fr.jsp"> </forward> In your ActionForm you can: return mapping.findForward(get the locale language from the session); HTH, Glenn On 6/24/05, Yaroslav Novytskyy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, all! > > I just wonder if there is an existing (tested, prooved) way (a kind of > development pattern) for Struts to make internationalization not by > message resources but by pages (JSPs, templates)? > > The point is that using message resources deleloper can only define a > string value for different locales.
