FacesMessages are not translated when I select new Message

[enikozsido]

Hello,

I have an application that supports internationalization.

I have a a registration form with validation. On language change everything is translated into new language except the faces messages.

Lets see the scene: I fill out the form, hit next, validation error messages are displayed. Then I change the language. The messages disappear although, the fields keep their error style.

Here is the source of language selector:

<h:form name="languages" action="#{localeSelector.select}">
            <h:selectOneMenu value="#{localeSelector.language}" onchange="document.forms[0].submit();">
          <f:selectItem itemLabel="English" itemValue="en"/>
          <f:selectItem itemLabel="Faroese" itemValue="fo"/>
     </h:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>

Do you have any idea why and how could I solve this?

Thanks a lot:

Eniko

You seem to be describing two separate problems - can you clarify?

So, the error messages come from validation errors?

Also, your xhtml snippet isn't valid, post the real xhtml ;-)

Hello,

Thanks for reply.
I'll try to explain the problem again. I have  a form, I'm trying to fill it out, and go to the next step. I make a mistake, for example I put a letter instead of a number. I get conversion error on the field value must be a number. I decide to change the language, so I choose Faroese. The messages are not displayed.

The code is:

<div id="top"  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib">
    <div id="logo">
       <s:decorate rendered="#{not identity.loggedIn}"><h1 onclick="document.location='home.seam'" title="#{messages['homePageHint']}"><span>asktovan</span></h1></s:decorate>
       <s:decorate rendered="#{identity.loggedIn}"><h1 onclick="document.location='task.seam'" title="#{messages['homePageHint']}"><span>asktovan</span></h1></s:decorate>
    </div>
    <div id="side-top">
      <p class="top-img"><!-- --></p>
      <p class="welcome" id="loginout">
        <h:outputText value="#{messages['welcomeMessage']}!" rendered="#{identity.loggedIn}"/>
        <s:link view="/login.xhtml" value="#{messages['login']}" rendered="#{not identity.loggedIn}"/>
        <h:form name="login" action="#{localeSelector.select}">
          <h:commandLink view="/home.xhtml" action="#{identity.logout}" value="#{messages['logout']}" rendered="#{identity.loggedIn}"/>
          
          <br /><br />
               <h:selectOneMenu value="#{localeSelector.language}" onchange="document.forms[0].submit();">
                   <f:selectItem itemLabel="English" itemValue="en"/>
                   <f:selectItem itemLabel="Faroese" itemValue="fo"/>
               </h:selectOneMenu>
             
        </h:form>
      </p>
    </div>
</div>

Thanks : Eniko

No, its a different form. So there are no validation errors, and your xhtml is still invalid (there is no action attribute on <h:form />).

Oh, I get it now, what you don't understand.

The source I've sent you is part of a template. The template also has a content part: where the registration is included, that is a different form.

When I submit the form validation errors are displayed, but after changing locale the messages get lost, though I want them to be translated.

Thank you for your patience and promptness!
