Question

I am using Java6 for my web application i am trying below code to change the laguage of my application ``` public static void doChangeLanguage(String argLang) { SessionValidationInitiator.setLanguage(argLang); LOGGER.debug("Changing Language to ... " + argLang); if(argLang.equalsIgnoreCase("fr_ca")){ Locales.setThreadLocal(Locales.getLocale(Locale.FRENCH)); Executions.getCurrent().getSession().setAttribute(Attributes.PREFERRED_LOCALE, Locale.FRENCH); Labels.reset(); }else{ Locales.setThreadLocal(Locales.getLocale(Locale.US)); Executions.getCurrent().getSession().setAttribute(Attributes.PREFERRED_LOCALE, Locale.US); Labels.reset(); } Executions.sendRedirect(null); } ``` Its working fine but when i am trying to change the Hindi i saw no any locale for indian language. Can we support Hindi Locale as well from Java so that my application work for Hindi Language.

Accepted Answer

Java 6 definitely has Hindi Locale support, refer to here.

To explicitly set the locale to Hindi, India do something like this:

```
System.out.println(new Locale("hi", "IN"));
```

Prints;

```
hi_IN
```

The thing to note here is `Locale` does also offer constructors to accurately get a handle on the supported Locale(s) and variants.

Hence, in your code you might probably want to try out:

```
 Locales.setThreadLocal(Locales.getLocale(new Locale("hi", "IN")));
```
