Ok, I think you're making too much work for yourself. If I understand it(I8N) correctly, the only thing one really has to do is name all of those .properties files with the right country code, insert the translated text with the correct subsitution placeholders, and presto, the magic container will render the correct stuff for you. Then you get a pony :-) Mind you I'm recounting this from fuzzy memory so the last two sentences could be completely and totally inaccurate, but I'm pretty sure you get a pony... Manning's _Struts in Action_ has a pretty good chaper (13) on App localization. http://www.manning.com/books/husted/contents.
