I'm new to Java (and coding in general) and I am trying to understand how to work with localization, but I am running into a problem when just following along with tutorials.... My bundles aren't being found.

here is my main

package com.company;

import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        

        Locale eng = new Locale("en" );
        Locale fre = new Locale("fr");
        Locale span = new Locale("es");

        ResourceBundle englishBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("myBundle", eng);
        ResourceBundle frenchBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("myBundle", fre);
        ResourceBundle spanishBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("myBundle", span);
        System.out.println(englishBundle.getString("hello"));
        System.out.println(frenchBundle.getString("hello"));
        System.out.println(spanishBundle.getString("hello"));
    }
}

I created the bundle using intelliJ create Resource Bundle which gave me 4 files.

• myBundle.properties
• myBundle_en.properties
• myBundle_es.properties
• myBundle_fr.properties

Each file has a single translation hello

When I run the code I get the following exception: MissingResourceException: cant find bundle for base name myBundle
