1. Create in WEB-INF folder a new folder messages and add to this folder some files with a base name and suffix(without suffix is the default file).
2. Add to these files, key-value records like:
facebook.displayName=English Facebook -> messages.properties
facebook.displayName=China Facebook -> messages_zh_CN.properties
*You can also add other suffixes like fr for French
3. Now, i think it's time for some Java Config:)
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class WebMvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
@Bean
public LocaleChangeInterceptor localeChangeInterceptor(){
LocaleChangeInterceptor localeChangeInterceptor=new LocaleChangeInterceptor();
localeChangeInterceptor.setParamName("language");
return localeChangeInterceptor;
}
@Bean(name = "localeResolver")
public LocaleResolver sessionLocaleResolver(){
SessionLocaleResolver localeResolver=new SessionLocaleResolver();
localeResolver.setDefaultLocale(new Locale("en"));
return localeResolver;
}
public void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {
registry.addInterceptor(localeChangeInterceptor());
}
@Bean
public MessageSource messageSource() {
ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
messageSource.setBasename("/WEB-INF/messages/messages");
return messageSource;
}
//...
}
* Note that "SessionLocalResolver" has a name. I don't know why, but declaring this without a name caused me some problems
* "language" will be the parameter that will have to be in request url for getting values from a different file
**language=fr will load values from messages_fr

Because we have only two files, we have only 2 choises:
*call without paramater will result:
