Using getText

...

To display i18n text, you can use a call to getText() in the property tag, or any other tag, such as the UI tags. (this The getText technique is especially useful for labels of UI tags.):

I18n Interceptor

Webwork (components, ActionSupport etc.) honours this and hence every i18n related aspect will used this locale. Its a pretty elegant way of changing locale upon request as well.

...

The framework components that support localization all utilize the ActionContext locale. See I18n Interceptor for details.
