I have some problems with making my web-app adapted for remote user browseres language settings. I used ResourceBundleMessageSource for it. It looks like this:
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="resources/messages" /> </bean>
And I have two .properties files:
messages.properties
messages_ru.properties
They are located in src/resources/messages.
I want to configure my app such way, that when remote users browser language settings contain russian, my app should use russian messages (messages_ru), otherwise (if language is not configured or it's not russian), it should use meessages.properties (it contains english messages).
When I setup russian in my browser, it works fine. When I erase all settings, it's also shows russian (I think it depends on system locale settings). And when I set some another language, it also show me russian messages.
Only way to make my app to show english messages is to rename messages.properties to messages_en.properties and set in browser english lang. But I want to make my app adopted for all language settings (when it use russian, if it needs, and english for any other settings and any other countries).
Any ideas?
You need to set
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="resources/messages" />
<property name="fallbackToSystemLocale" value="false" />
</bean>
In this case Spring will use messages.properties as a fallback, so it should contain messages in the "default" locale for your application.
