 <p>Please make sure you have read the <a href="tag-syntax">Tag Syntax</a> document and understand how tag attribute syntax works.</p>

 <h2 id="description">Description</h2>

 <p>Render a I18n text message.</p>

 <p>The message must be in a resource bundle with the same name as the action that it is associated with. In practice this
 means that you should create a properties file in the same package as your Java class with the same name as your class,
 but with <code class="highlighter-rouge">.properties</code> extension.</p>

 <p>If the named message is not found in a property file, then the body of the tag will be used as default message. If no body
 is used, then the stack can be searched, and if a value is returned, it will written to the output.
 If no value is found on the stack, the key of the message will be written out.</p>

 <p>For more details on using resource bundles with Struts 2 read the <a href="../core-developers/localization.html">localization guide</a>.</p>

	<p>Please make sure you have read the <a href="tag-syntax">Tag Syntax</a> document and understand how tag attribute syntax works.</p>

	<h2 id="description">Description</h2>

	<p>Render a I18n text message.</p>

	<p>The message must be in a resource bundle with the same name as the action that it is associated with. In practice this
	means that you should create a properties file in the same package as your Java class with the same name as your class,
	but with <code class="highlighter-rouge">.properties</code> extension.</p>

	<p>If the named message is not found in a property file, then the body of the tag will be used as default message. If no body
	is used, then the stack can be searched, and if a value is returned, it will written to the output.
	If no value is found on the stack, the key of the message will be written out.</p>

	<p>For more details on using resource bundles with Struts 2 read the <a href="../core-developers/localization.html">localization guide</a>.</p>
