message always shown in the same language instead of configuring the browser not to

I am trying to show a welcoming message in a JSF page in different languages (English or Spanish) depending on the user's browser configuration.

These are the steps I follow:

1-In Netbeans I create a WAR project

2-In the folder Source Packages I create a package named locale, and inside that package, I create 2 files (messages.properties, messages_es.properties)

messages.properties

greeting = Welcome!

messages_es.properties

greeting = Bienvenido!

3-In the folder Web Pages I create the file index.html

<h:outputText value="#{msg['greeting']}" />

4-In faces-config.xml I write this code:

<locale-config>
            <default-locale>en</default-locale>
            <supported-locale>es</supported-locale>
        </locale-config>
        <resource-bundle>
            <base-name>locale.messages</base-name>
            <var>msg</var>
        </resource-bundle>

When I run the application in my browser always is shown the welcoming message in Spanish (BIenvenido!), also when I change the preference order (Preferences-Content-Language) to show the web page in English.

What am I doing wrong?

I finally managed to find the error. I changed the messages.properties file name to messages_en.properties and it works well.
