Stojan,

It seems like there are some problems with the ResourceBundle and the i18n
taglib. Also there are some issues with the pages (encoding!) etc.

Basically you should be able to create a set of translations, and add it as
you did (no major science really, except that they have to be properly
encoded maybe, or should be stored as UTF-8, plus checked into the
repository as binary....).

When it comes to the login/logout pages, the locale is derived from the
HttpRequest (i.e. depends on your browser settings).
Probably this is not what one wants.....?
The rest of the pages is governed by the users selection (Preferences!).

Migrating to Struts,
-> I have switched over to the MessageResources (which does not change the
fact that we need properly encoded resource bundles however)
-> unified all into one application bundle
-> views are using the struts-bean:message tag instead of the i18n taglib
-> pages and HTML document are defined to be UTF-8 encoded (and should
actually be encoded as such).

With regard to the login/logout pages we could try to achieve the following:
1. First time user, and returning user without login cookie -> the locale of
the login page will now be determined by the view default language setting

2. Returning user with login cookie -> extract the locale for the login page
from the cookie

3. Make efforts to let the logout page remain in the user's selected locale

Regards,
Dieter
