Internationalization for web applications
My search for a framework for printing is on the back burner for now. I’ve turned my attention to another pressing problem, internationalizing web applications that use JSP.
I’m trying to find the most practical approach, especially for translating text. Since we already use Struts, its support for Internationalized Messages seems like an obvious option. On the other hand, excellent as Struts is, I’d rather avoid tying the solution to it.
The standard approach, and the one that seems most natural to me, is to use the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL), or more precisely its reference implementation, Taglibs. JSTL standardizes internationalization support, so I think I’ll try the I18N Tag Library.
Is there anything else worth looking into?
