jsp VS. jsp_osc and HomePageBody_jsp.java

[costis]

Hello everybody!
Question 1:
What is the use of the jsp_osc directory? So far we have been only using the jsp.
       webapps/konakart/WEB-INF/jsp_osc/HomePageBody.jsp
       webapps/konakart/WEB-INF/jsp/HomePageBody.jsp

Question 2:
We want to have a bilingual introduction page. The contents should change according to the language selected.
What is the best way to do it? Wouldn't it be easier to have the intro text in the database?

Thanx
Greetings

       webapps/konakart/WEB-INF/jsp/HomePageBody.jsp

These are older JSPs that have the original osCommerce look and feel. They haven't been updated for a few releases.

Question 2:

Why don't you put the text in the language dependent message catalogs ?
