IMHO I18N logic belongs to the presentation layer because
it's only relevant when displaying information or
handling user input.
So the EBs shouldn't know anything about different languages at all.
The presentation layer should translate the logical values
to language specific display values and back (for input).
If I understand correctly, You are already doing something
like that. I would go so far and move this translation logic
to the servlet level. You can store the locale of the current
user in the servlet session context.
