Thanks a lot Laurie.

I have the ApplicationResources_zh.properties in WEB-INF/classes along
with other locale property files. 
The issue is, always I am seeing the default locale, even when I am
explicitly changing the browser locale setting to Chinese.

The things I did are,
I created the ApplicationResources_zh.properties in MS-WORD with UTF-8
encoding (in text editors we could not enter the special language
characters)
Coded the jsp with response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8").
Restarted the server and see the above behaviour.

I doubt, my way of creating the property file is wrong.

Please advice.

No, it should work the same way as it does for any other language. What 
behaviour are you seeing? Do you get missing messages, or messages from 
one of the other resource bundles? Is your 
ApplicationResources_zh.properties in the same place your other 
properties files are? And how are you selecting the locale to use?

This doesn't effect the rendering of messages, just how the user enters 
text into forms and so on. In other words, that's talking about how the 
user enters data into your application, not how your application 
dispalys data to the user.
