faces-config.xml:
<application>
<locale-config>
<default-locale>ru</default-locale>
<supported-locale>ua</supported-locale>
</locale-config>
</application>
In a bean action method, I'm changing the locale in the current view as follows:
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(new Locale("ua"));
The problem is that ua Locale is applied, but only per request/view and not for session. Another request/view within the same session resets the locale back to default ru value.
How can I apply the locale for session?

You need to store the selected locale in the session scope and set it in the viewroot in two places: once by UIViewRoot#setLocale() immediately after changing the locale (which changes the locale of the current viewroot and thus get reflected in the postback; this part is not necessary when you perform a redirect afterwards) and once in the locale attribute of the <f:view> (which sets/retains the locale in the subsequent requests/views).
Here's an example how such a LocaleBean should look like:
package com.example.faces;
import java.util.Locale;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class LocaleBean {
private Locale locale;
@PostConstruct
public void init() {
locale = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestLocale();
}
public Locale getLocale() {
return locale;
}
public String getLanguage() {
return locale.getLanguage();
}
public void setLanguage(String language) {
locale = new Locale(language);
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(locale);
}
}
And here's an example of the view should look like:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="#{localeBean.language}"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<f:view locale="#{localeBean.locale}">
<h:head>
<title>JSF/Facelets i18n example</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{localeBean.language}" onchange="submit()">
<f:selectItem itemValue="en" itemLabel="English" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="nl" itemLabel="Nederlands" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="es" itemLabel="Español" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>
<p><h:outputText value="#{text['some.text']}" /></p>
</h:body>
</f:view>
</html>
Which assumes that #{text} is already configured in faces-config.xml as below:
<application>
<resource-bundle>
<base-name>com.example.i18n.text</base-name>
<var>text</var>
</resource-bundle>
</application>
Note that <html lang> is not required for functioning of JSF, but it's mandatory how search bots interpret your page. Otherwise it would possibly be marked as duplicate content which is bad for SEO.

I see that the problem is also with .properties file name. Java Locale us codes (lowercase) like: en_gb But automaticly created locale (by Netbeans) is lowercase_uppercase i.e.: messages_en_GB.properties Change name to: messages_en_gb.properties and it should work - if you tried everything

This component f:view is not there your JSF page it will not work and It will shows only default english language.Provide the localae value for this f:view component then it will work fine. I faced the same problem now its working fine.
