I'm kind of confused why it would do this.  I don't really know about 
Struts or even JEE every much, so I'm probably missing something, but 
getLocale() on HttpServletRequest should return the locale requested by 
the browser (client).  Then you should just be able to do this:

ResourceBundle labels = ResourceBundle.getBundle("ces", locale);

without having to have a special check for any language.  It sounds like 
the way you have it you'll need to use some sort of if-else in a cascade 
to fetch additional languages, and that's almost always bad.

More on resources and searching for locales:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/resbundle/concept.html

'course, I don't know about Struts so I have no idea if this is even 
possible.  However, the attribute for setBundle is "basename" which sure 
sounds to me like it should be doing this search automatically.

If it's not, you might want to find out why.
