Sure...

The text of page (or set of pages) is supported via a
properties file. Each language supported is
represented  via it's own properties file.
As an example... 
I have two pages named page1 and page2. I support 3
languages, Canadian English, Canadian French and
Spanish.

I support these pages and their respective languages
using three properites files:

page1_en_CA.properties,
page1_fr_CA.properties and
page1_es_ES.properties as well as 
page2_en_CA.properties,
page2_fr_CA.properties and
page2_es_ES.properties.

Within these files the "Welcome" title would look like
this:

In page1_en_CA.properties
welcome.title=Welcome to the Application!

In page1_fr_CA.properties
welcome.title=Bienvenue � l'application!

In page1_es_ES.properties
welcome.title=Recepci�n al uso!

So based on the users selected Locale (i.e. English,
French or Spanish) the appropriate properties file is
referenced and the value of "welcome.title" is
displayed in the appropriate language.

Although I haven't delved deeply into the issue, at
this point the only  alternative I see is to create
multiple Configuration objects, each on representing a
particular Locale.

However, I'm not convinced this is the best solution. 

Again, I appreciate any insight you can provide to my
dilema.

Sincerely,
Randy Phillips.
