Almost working: change strings of whole application

Question

Hi! I've been trying to let the end user change the language of a menu. It's almost done, now I have a Menus class showing 3 items : File Help and Description
In the File item you click in Configuration and there is the combo box where you select the language, you select for example Spanish and click the button and it changes the language of the 3 items above (File,Help and Description).
To do that I have a Selector class where I declare the Locales and an updateString method that I call after setting the Resources. So far so good
Now in the Description item I have a subitem named Test and in Test there's a panel named Conver with just some labels and a button, I'm trying to change the language of this panel too in my Configuration panel but does not work ...
Here are the classes:
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Menus extends JFrame
   public ResourceBundle res;
   private JMenuBar jmbarBarraDeMenus;

I hope you get an answer to your problem.
Unfortunately, it's a lot of code to wade through, and many regulars know you
cross-post your problems all over the place, so probably ignore your posts
rather than risk their time being wasted on a problem already solved.
When I said "I hope you get an answer to your problem.",
I lied.
