Resolved Locale/Language

[oz_ko]

Is there a way to determine which language/locale is being displayed to the user? For example I have 3 language files:

language.properties (default english)
language_fr.properties (french)
language_dk.properties (german)

The browser locale is set to "es" (spanish) so it defaults to language.properties file. How can I determine which language/properties file is being used by Spring? LocaleResolver picks up the Accept-Header or uses cookies to determine which locale the browser is requesting but not the locale/language the server will use.

Is there a way to determine which language is actually being used?

A LocaleResolver determines, which locale will be used. Read more here: http://static.springsource.org/sprin...localeresolver.

The property file providing the localized message text can only be determined on a per-message-basis. If you need to know the property file for test purposes, it might be a good idea to create copies of your property files and append the loacle name behind each message text. That shouldn't be too hard to do with a proper editor. Then point the context to your copies. This will look very ugly, but will give you the information needed.

You could try using Springs ThreadLocal strategy for setting the current locale for the request thread.

LocaleContextHolder.getLocaleContext().getLocale();
