• I18N (Internationalization): We can provide language support by using I18N.
• L10N (Localization): We should provide business support or validation support.
• Internationalization enables the application to target any language in the world.
• Localization is a part of the Internationalization and it enables the application to render in a targeted local language.
• By using J2EE IOC container ApplicationContext container provide I18N.
• We have to create bean of ResourceBundleMessageSource class in xml file and id must have “messageSource”.

Create Java Project

• Open Eclipse
• Go to File -> New -> Dynamic Web Project
• Create Spring-I18N project
• Right click on project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Libraries tab -> Add External JARs (Used 2.X jars)
  - commons-logging-X.X.jar
  - spring-beans-X.X.X.jar
  - spring-context-X.X.X.jar
  - spring-core-X.X.X.jar
• Also add jar files in WEB-INF/lib folder
• * You can find dtd information from spring-beans-X.X.X.jar -> org -> springframework -> beans -> factory -> xml -> spring-beans.dtd (line no 36 & 37)

String language = request.getHeader("accept-language");
Locale locale = new Locale(language);
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("com/codeFactory/resources/spring.xml");
String message = context.getMessage("message", null, locale);
%>
<form action="./hello">
	<%=message %>: <input type="text" name="name" />
	<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

• Change browser language and refresh page.
• This is just an example, it is not good approach for web application.
• Right click on Spring-I18N -> Run As -> Run on Server
