Message files not getting picked in the order as desired

[gaurav chaudhary]

I have a folder named i18n in which there are message files namely
gaurav_en.properties
gaurav_ja.properties

Now, if this is accessed from a japanese server, with the language in the browser set as en_US, gaurav_ja.properties is getting loaded instead of the gaurav_en.properties.

I read somewhere that first the server will try to load the gaurav_en_US, then gaurav_en and then if it is not found, it will load the default locale of the server that is gaurav_ja.

I need help on this.

thanks in advance

To my knowledge, your understanding is correct, provided the locale set in the browser is en-US. Are you 100% sure that you have set the default language correctly in your browser? Remember that in Microsoft Internet Explorer, if you specify multiple languages, the default language is the one at the top of the list.

Thanks for replying...

I think I got the workaround on this. The locale object that was getting made was having "en_US" in the language field due to which this issue was there. I just replaced it and it works fine BUT only on Mozilla.

Now I have another issue which is inspite of anything I set in the Internet Explorer, the request.getLocale() is always giving the en_US as the value.

I changed the settings in the Tools->Internet Options->General->Languages. I removed en_US at all and just had "ja" but still it gives me en_US. This isuue is not there if I access the application by Mozilla.
I am using IE6 as my browser.

Any help on this will be appreciated...
