@include file is called static include, It is like an inline inclusion i.e., the contents of the file will be included at translation phase (Remember #include of C). It can not have dynamic file name.

For that you have to use <jsp:include page=”fileName” />

The Syntax is

<jsp:include page="{relativeURL | <%= expression %>}">

So,

<%    Locale locale = request.getLocale();    
      String myPage = "/layouts/common/modal_body._"+locale+".jsp" ;
%>
<jsp:include page="<%= myPage %>">
