Spring Internationalization

To write an application that supports multiples languages, you need to add the following code in your dispatcher.

1. At first message resources

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
	<property name="basename" value="/WEB-INF/locale/message" />
	<property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8" />
</bean>

2. Add the LocaleChangeInterceptor as

<mvc:interceptors>
	<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor"
	p:paramName="locale" />
</mvc:interceptors>

3. add the SessionLocaleResolver

<bean id="localeResolver"
	class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.SessionLocaleResolver">
	<property name="defaultLocale" value="en_ES" />
</bean>

4. change the character encoding of your page

<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
and include the message tag as
<%@ taglib prefix="message" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags"%>

5. Replace all labels as

<message:message code="student.roll.no" />

A typical JSP page will look as follows

<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="message" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags"%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Please Change Language Here</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeLanguage() {
var lang = document.getElementById("locale");
self.location = "load-form?locale=" + lang.value;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<td><form:form action="process-form" commandName="sampleForm"
method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td><message:message code="student.roll.no" /></td>
<td><form:input path="rollNo" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><message:message code="student.name" /></td>
<td><form:input path="name" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><message:message code="student.address" /></td>
<td><form:input path="address" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2"><input type="submit"
value="Process" /></td>
</tr>

</table>
</form:form></td>
<td>
<table>
<form:form action="load-form" method="get" commandName="languageForm">
<tr>
<td><form:select path="locale" onchange="changeLanguage()">
<form:options items="${languages}" itemLabel="langName"
itemValue="value" />
</form:select></td>
</tr>
</form:form>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

When you run this application it will display message as shown below:
