Start by studying the "fmt" class of JSTL tags. They'll allow you to display text and numeric values based upon the user's locale.

You can have look at basic start point by using jstl ftm:setlocale tag. The mini tutorial for same is at - http://www.tutorialspoint.com/jsp/jstl_format_setlocale_tag.htm

That should be <fmt:setLocale> -- not "ftm".

The whole category of JSTL fmt tags work together to enable localization.

That's a cheaper alternative than having people do translations, but also definitely an inferior alternative.
