The java.text.MessageFormat class (which is how Struts is doing the
substitution) does not support internationalizing the replacement
parameters directly. But how about doing this in two steps?
* Look up the internationalized replacement value from
a MessageResources bundle
* Use the returned String as the replacement value in the
ultimate message.
