Your servlets should display text in this way:
----------------------------------
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class Kod extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
Locale deflocale = Locale.getDefault();
ResourceBundle texts = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Textfile",deflocale);
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<HTML><BODY>");
out.println(texts.getString("idtext")+"< BR>");
out.println("</BODY></HTML>");
out.close();
}
----------------------------------
Then make a file "Textfile.txt" with content like this:
--------------Textfile.txt--------------------
idtext=Default text if no locale specified
----------------------------------------------
and one file for each locale you want to use:
--------------Textfile_en_US.txt--------------
idtext=Text for US english
----------------------------------------------
--------------Textfile_cs_CZ.txt--------------
idtext=Text pro cestinu v Cechach a na Morave
----------------------------------------------
Then translate all files to UNICODE:
native2ascii -encoding ISO-8859-1 Textfile.txt Textfile.properties
native2ascii -encoding ISO-8859-1 Textfile_en_US.txt Textfile_en_US.properties
native2ascii -encoding Cp1250 Textfile_cs_CZ.txt Textfile_cs_CZ.properties
So you will have *.properties file for each locale.
Then just specify some specific locale instead of default
locale in the ResourceBundle.getBundle() method.
