Internationalization of webapps There's a good that was published today on JavaWorld.com: End-to-end internationalization of Web applications. I stumbled upon it via TheServerSide.com. I especially like the tip about using a hidden "dateFormat" field in conjunction with Commons Validator to validate locale-specific date formats. AppFuse could certainly use this. Did you know that AppFuse supports 4 languages out-of-the-box and has full i18n support (save for the date format thingy). Supported languages include: English, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese and Chinese. I opted to use JSTL's i18n support in most areas rather than Struts. It's simply more portable when moving to other MVC frameworks like Spring and WebWork. Posted in Java at May 24 2004, 11:48:17 AM MDT 2 Comments

English, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese and Chinese -- seems like 5 languages to me. :)

Brazilian Portuguese is one language, not two ;-) There's no such language as Brazilian, they speak a variant of Portuguese.
