Please be sure to ask Struts questions in the Struts forum. I have moved this post there for you.

You have to ask yourself, do you need two jsps?
How do you store the information in the properties?

Wow, welsh is a crazy language!

How to use more than one ApplicationResources.properties in struts.

SCENARIO
The scenario is you have two properties files
1. one for english(For Example) - ApplicationResources.properties
1. one for welsh(For Example) - ApplicationResources-cy.properties

The two jsp one is for english 1. lost.jsp
for welsh 2. lost-cy.jsp

The change to be made in the
1. web.xml 2. struts config.xml 3. lost-cy.jsp

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.5" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>application</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/com/example/ApplicationResources.properties</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>application1</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/com/example/ApplicationResources-cy.properties</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>lost.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

<message-resources parameter="com.example.ApplicationResources" null="false"/>
<message-resources parameter="com.example.ApplicationResources-cy" key="welsh" null="false" />


To access ApplicationResources.properites, use <bean:message key="aKey"/>

Then to access ApplicationResources-cy.properties,

just use <bean:message bundle="welsh" key="anotherKey"/>

Both the properties file having the Key is same but the value differs.

Follow the above to work successfully with two properties file for two jsp thats differs in language

This example Matches only for the scenario at the top
