———————————-Update ends here—————————————-
I have set up i18n to my web app using Spring MVC. It does not work.
When I click on the link:
<a href="?lang=de">de</a>
nothing happens, only the address bar changes to
http://localhost:8080/wort/register.html?lang=de
but the displayed messages remain the same (english).
Obviously I have the messages_de.properties file next to the messages_en.properties file.
(there is no problem with the english messages’ display.)
Do I miss something obvious?
here is my spring configuration:

here is the solution: I have to remove this from spring-servlet.xml and everything is fine
