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. -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laurie Harper Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 1.54 PM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Re: i18n and l10n issue - need help Balasubramaniam, Sezhiyan wrote: > We were giving locale support for English, Spanish, French and German in > one of our STRUTS 1.0.1 intranet application. > > So far, it went smooth as all the resource bundles are ASCII based. > > Recently we got some requirements on double byte characters (CHINESE and > JAPANESE) > > Even after we added the ApplicationResources_zh.properties and > ApplicationResources_ja.properties into the classpath, STRUTS is not > picking up the messages. > > As we are new to this i18n and l10n, we don't have much clue. > > Are we missing some thing?

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? > On the other side I was reading the STRUTS site and it says, > > "Please note that the i18n support in a framework like Struts is limited > to the presentation of internationalized text and images to the user. > Support for Locale specific input methods (used with languages such as > Japanese, Chinese, and Korean) is left up to the client device, which is > usually a web browser." 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.
