You just need property files defining the various i18n strings.

Sorry Joe - I obviously didn't explain myself adequately.
I already have property files containing i18n keys + strings. Like this:
ApplicationResources_en.properties
----------------------------------
menu.item.search="Search"
menu.item.about="About This Application"
...And in my Struts Action I'm sending a collection of menu entries to the JSP (which uses 'html:select' and 'html:optionsCollection' tags to render the menu):
MenuItem item = new MenuItem();
item.id=1;
item.value="menu.item.search"
menuCollection.add(item); item.id=2;
item.value="menu.item.about"
menuCollection.add(item);
...All this does is render a HTML select list containing the "menu.item..." strings rather than the locale-specific strings.
So, in my Action class I have added a helper method that iterates through the menuCollection, replaces the i18n keys with their actual locale-specific strings and places THAT collection in the form as the menu. This translation happens every time the Execute() method is called.
But is there some i18n 'magic component' in Struts that would do that for me? Or do I have to rewrite (or reuse) my helper method in every Action for now on?
Thanks. -- Sean
