yes you would need to start by populating all localisable text strings into
your globalMessages_<locale>.properties files
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/localization.html
ActionClass.propertiesInterface.properties (every interface and
sub-interface)BaseClass.properties (all the way to
Object.properties)ModelDriven's model (if implements ModelDriven), for the
model object repeat from 1package.properties (of the directory where class is
located and every parent directory all the way to the root directory)search up
the i18n message key hierarchy itselfglobal resource properties
for each call to getText then pass in the key to acquire the localised text
string in these implementations:
the UI TagsMessages and Errors from the ValidationAware interface (implemented
by ActionSupport and ValidationAwareSupport)Within action classes that extend
ActionSupport through the getText() method
example of getText in UI
<s:property value="getText('some.key')" />
NOTE of CAUTION:
the lang lookup algorithm uses the provided locale to lookup the accompanying
text string
romance and germanic languages come from the common EUROPEAN base which
originate from single byte character set(s)
converting to other languages employing Double Byte Character becomes
problematic as representation for each character now takes 16 bits
this means that every component,application and bean on the application stack
which will lookup that string needs to support DBCS
ALSO persisting DBCS information to a Database would require your DB to support
DBCS types such as NCHAR,NINTEGER and NVARCHAR
Moreover the architects of J2SE left out Hindi support so you will definitely
have your work cut out for you
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html
I would stick with Single Byte Character Set business languages such as german,
french, spanish and italian
Once all of the text strings have been placed into
globalMessages_<locale>.properties
you will be able to easily translate from one language to the next by changing
struts.locale=de_DE in struts.properties
after your SBCS port is working then port to DBCS
(DBCS ports are a big deal and the reason why software companies such as
http://www.krishnasoft.com who do localisations do very well)
Viel Gluck/Bon Chance/Buena Suerte!
