Configuring a SessionLocaleResolver

There are two parts to configuring a SessionLocaleResolver. The first one is to configure a localeResolver. The second one is to configure an interceptor to handle the change in locale:

    <bean id="springMVCLocaleResolver"       class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.      SessionLocaleResolver">       <property name="defaultLocale" value="en" />     </bean>     <mvc:interceptors>       <bean id="springMVCLocaleChangeInterceptor"       class="org.springframework.web.servlet.      i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">         <property name="paramName" value="language" />       </bean>     </mvc:interceptors>

Important things to note are as follows:

• <property name="defaultLocale" value="en" />: By default, en locale is used.
• <mvc:interceptors>: LocaleChangeInterceptor ...
