Doesn't sound large. Memory is a under 100k, tiny. I believe it is a hash search so struts finding the message should be efficient.
The hardest thing I have found is to match the keys in the JSP to the keys in the properties file.

Thanks to every one for your valuable suggestions! I have decided to go with converting .html to .jsp and use properties for serving these messages. Now my properties file has 600 lines of code is it large? or is it OK? I believe this file is loaded only once by the Action Servlet and kept in memory right? Will there be any memory issues? or Performance down grades because of this huge properties file. Is there any other better way of doing this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Jana. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Banks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 10:25 AM Subject: Re: How to build Multi-Lingual Web Site? > I asked this question a while back and got some very good answers.
