Labels Internationalization in ADFbc

Question

Hi, I have an ADF project where I’m using ADFbc on the model level.
For labels, I’m using the “Label Text” in the “Control Hints” on the entity level, in that way if I drag the view object on multiple JFS screens the same label will be reflected on all of them.
Now my question is, how can I implement “Internationalization on the labels”, in other words, how can I change all the labels to be in other language based on the logged in user?
Jdev 11.1.1.3
Thanks,
Alain

I will assume you know the language of the logged in user.
I used this sessionScope bean in a previous a application to switch the locale at run time.
import java.util.Locale;
import javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
public class langBean
    public langBean()
        super();
  Locale preferredLocale;
    public void setPreferredLocale(Locale preferredLocale)
        this.preferredLocale = preferredLocale;
    public Locale getPreferredLocale()
        return preferredLocale;
puplic void changeLocale(String language) //map the user language to Local (i.e. if English user pass en, If french user pass fr to this method)
      Locale newLocale = new Locale(language);
      FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      fctx.getViewRoot().setLocale(newLocale);
      setPreferredLocale(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getLocale());
}once the user has logged in, determine his language, then call this method changeLocale(String language).
Then in each page in your application, open the structure window, and select the view node, from the property inspector set Locale
#{langBean.preferredLocale}
