Localizing Messages with a property-file type resource bundle
/*
MyResources_en.properties:
hello=Hello
bye=Goodbye
MyResources_fr.properties:
hello=Bonjour
bye=Au Revoir
A base name and desired locale is specified.
The system looks in the classpath for a file whose name matches one of the following patterns in order:
basename_locale.properties
basename.properties
basename_defaultLocale.properties
Given the base name MyResources, a locale of fr, and a default locale of en, the system first looks for
MyResources_fr.properties
MyResources.properties
MyResources_en.properties
