ResourceBundle does not correspond to the requested locale

The instantiated resourceBundle does not correspond to the requestd locale(zh_TW). As a result strings from the fallback messages.properties are being picked. What am I missing?

This doesn't happen with locale which contain no underscores(Ex : es, pl, fr etc)

Locale myLocale = new Locale("zh_TW");
ResourceBundle resourceBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("messages", myLocale);
System.out.println("ResourceBundle locale : " + resourceBundle.getLocale());

Output

Default locale : en_US
ResourceBundle locale :

Also note that when ResourceBundle.getBundle() parses the properties file and finds an invalid character, it fails silently and falls back on the default properties file.

The Locale class provides three constructors:

 Locale(String language)
 Locale(String language, String country)
 Locale(String language, String country, String variant)

You most probably need to do:

Locale myLocale = new Locale("zh", "TW");
