how to provide completely multi-language support in my jsf application

I'm developing a web application and using JSF 2.2 and Primefaces.

It contains a lot of output texts, user warning messages etc. I want to support many different languages. What is the most usable way to do this? Is there any standard or efficient procedure to achieve this?

JSF supports internationalized messaging through locale specific .properties resource files. Once a locale is set, either implicitly via the browser or explicitly by the user, the appropriate bundle will be loaded. For browser settings:

<f:view locale="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestLocale}">

You will also need to define the <resource-bundle> in you faces-config.xml where base-name defines the base file name and var defines the scoped result map.

I would start with this doc from @BalusC: http://jdevelopment.nl/internationalization-jsf-utf8-encoded-properties-files/

Also from @Mkyong: http://www.mkyong.com/jsf2/jsf-2-message-and-messages-example/
