Hi guys! I'm having a problem here about internationalizing the content of a site. So far, captions are inline with the jsp/html file. I've read Struts internationalization and it seems easy. But I think it focuses more on static content. To explain more about the problem, here is a scenario.


An employer needs to view the data of an applicant in arabic. The data is in english and needs to be converted to arabic. All the captions can be converted with no problem, however dynamic content such as the applicant's name is all in english. Also, things like flash movies need an arabic version as well. How am I suppose to handle these things? It would be such a waste of time to write a completely new version from scratch. I hope you guys get the idea. Thanks!

Hi ,
Were you successful in getting the dynamic data to appear in an arabic form. Like if you have an amount field in english stored in the data base. You want to display this in an Arabic form, is there a way to convert all numbers of the amount ( say 125.00 ) to its corresponding arabic numbers.... I hope you found a way
