[opencms-dev] Frontend/Website Localization

[Thorsten Duhn]

Hello,

thank you, that <cms:bundle /> did the trick - almost. I'm still facing 
some strange problems, but I see progress. Maybe you have an idea on 
this: Now what I see is that messages in main.jsp are always English 
while messages in an included element jsp reflect the locale, which is 
defined on the root folder (I created them also called 'de' and 'en'). 
cms.locale also reflects this setting. Just messages come from English 
bundle instead of German (on English page they're also the English 
ones). Publishing, re-initializing is no help - but logghing of is, or 
looking at the online site.

Thanks,
Thorsten
