ResourceBundle in hebrew / default locale

[trouby]

Hi,
I have two questions regarding resource bundles and locales,


I've set two locales in faces-config.xml as follows:

<application>
 <locale-config>
 <default-locale>en_US</default-locale>
 <supported-locale>en_US</supported-locale>
 <supported-locale>he</supported-locale>
 </locale-config>
 </application>

For some reason the deault locale being the 'he' (Hebrew) one and not 'en_US' that was set as default.


Second question, I'm not sure this is even a Seam issue, but hebrew messages being displayed as gibrish, I use UTF-8 as the browse encoding and encoded all messages inside messages_iw.properties in UTF-8 too, but they are not getting displayed so well.
Any clue?



Thanks a lot,

Asaf.

Solved,

It is required to use an editor that supports automatic encoding.

Eclipse resourceBundleEditor from 'http://www.resourcebundleeditor' makes a perfect job here ;)




Any clue why 'he' language being the default one although en_US was set in default-locale tag?

thanks

en_US not being available?

Try setting 'he' as the default locale in your browser.

May I ask how you type Hebrew language into the resourceBundleEditor?

Thanks

I dont understand the question,

What do you mean by how?


By standards,created file per language and typeed words in hebrew into the edited file.

The editor handles the encodings correctly.

I guess my question is due to the fact that I don't know how to use international language on a computer. :(

I am trying to develop a site with Vietnamese yet I don't know to type Vietnamese using a computer, especially with a tool like Eclipse. I was thinking of asking a developer in Vietnam to type up the properties file in a computer that has Vietnamese language installed in the OS. I don't even know if it is possible. Most of them that I know uses English tools anyway.

If you can send me an email so that we can take this off line. I am at [e-mail]

Thanks.
