SEAM internationalization problem :(

[alex_enache]

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with internationalization in SEAM for 2 days now. And I can't seem to make it right. So, I have the following files:

pmResources_ro.properties
pmResources_en.properties
pmResources_fr.properties
pmResources.properties

They are stored in:
/myapp.ear/myapp.war/WEB-INF/classes/

Here is what faces-config.xml contains about the bundle:

<application>
 <message-bundle>pmResources</message-bundle>
 <locale-config>
 <default-locale>ro</default-locale>
 <supported-locale>ro</supported-locale>
 <supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
 <supported-locale>fr</supported-locale>
 </locale-config>
</application>

The components.xml part:

<core:resource-bundle>
 <core:bundle-names>
 <value>pmResources</value>
 </core:bundle-names>
</core:resource-bundle>

And in my page I use it with:

...
<f:loadBundle basename="pmResources" var="bundle"/>
...
<h:outputText value="Text=#{bundle.AboutUsText}"/>

Even though ro should be default, every time I load the page en is the one displayed. And I tried to use:

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{localeSelector.language}">
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="English" itemValue="en"/>
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="Francais" itemValue="fr"/>
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="Romana" itemValue="ro"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<s:button action="#{localeSelector.select}" value="ChangeLanguage"/>

From what I know, JSF searches the properties files in the following order:
pmResources_ro.properties
pmResources_ro_RO.properties
pmResources_en.properties
pmResources_en_US.properties
pmResources_fr.properties
pmResources_fr_FR.properties
pmResources.properties

Can anyone help me with this ? Thanks in advance!

Use the Seam message bundle

<h:outputText value="#{messages.aboutUsText}"" />

Hi there Pete,

and thanks for your reply. I've tried that just now. It still loads the "en" bundle before the "ro" one. But I tried the following thing: I've removed the "en" locale from faces-config.xml. And now, if I set "fr" or "ro" as the default locale, it seems to load it as it should. Maybe this is a bug regarding the "en" supported locale ?

Thanks again for your reply Pete, and if anyone has had this problem, and found a solution, please post it here again(or a link to the solution).

Regards,
Alex Enache

Try to change browser language order. Use ro first.
