Currently, the English labels for this drop-down list are defined in the root
message catalog like this:
Country.GERMANY=Germany
country.uk=United Kingdom
COUNTRY.USA=United States
We can create a separate message catalog for the Registration page if we wish so and
move these entries there, or leave everything as it is in case the same messages might
be needed for some other page. To provide the countries labels in German, all we
need is to create an appropriate German message catalog, with German values for
the labels.
Let's create a new file, app_de.properties in WEB-INF directory. We could
translate all the contents of the app.properties file, put the translations into the
new message catalog and then internationalize all the labels of the Registration page.
However, you already know how to do that, so let's leave that work as an exercise
for you. For now, let's just provide German labels for the Country enumeration,
like this:
country.germany=Deutschland
country.uk=Grossbritannien
country.usa=Staaten von Amerika

Run the application and at the Start page change the locale to German and then
proceed to the Registration page.
