[Opensource] i18n

[addison at inter-locale.com]

Hi Jacq,

Different versions of servlet perform differently. Common implementations
of the servlet engine (such as that on the Sun website) have not yet been
updated and are not fully functional. This is due to i18n being an
afterthought in J2EE, not to any particular framework.

Most of versions of servlet return a null locale (the null locale is
like getting new Locale("","")). The null locale itself returns "en" as
its name. Struts avoids this limitation by using its own implementation.

Most developers end up having to parse the Accept-Language header
themselves, since you can't predict which servlet engine you'll find
yourself in...

I have such a demo myself, with source, at
http://www.inter-locale.com/demos/langnego.xtp

Hope that helps.

Best Regards,

Addison
