mjawurek 1dc6c799a7 A first attempt at internationalization of WebGoat. For complete internationalization WebGoat needs two things:
1. Every text passage/label that appears in lessons must independent of the current language set for WebGoat.
2. Every lesson plan and solutions must be translated for each supported language.
Number 1 is achieved by using webgoat/util/WebgoatI18N.java and by having every output routed through this piece of code. You no longer say hints.add("Lesson Hint 1"); or ....addElement("Shopping Cart")) but you in the lesson you say hints.add(WebGoatI18N.get("Lesson Hint1")) or ....addElement(WebGoatI18N.get("Shopping Cart"). Then WebGoatI18N looks up the corresponding string for the language set as the current lanuage and returns it.
Number 2 is achieved by having subdirectories in lesson_plans corresponding to every language. That means, a lesson that has been translated to Spanish and German will be found in lesson_plans/English and lesson_plans/Spanish and lesson_plans/German.

This is how WebGoat finds out about available languages: in Course.java in loadResources() it looks for lesson plans.
Unlike before, now a lesson plan can be found multiple times in different "language" directories. So for every directory the lesson plan is found in, WebGoat associates this language with the lesson and also lets WebGoatI18N load the appropriate WebGoatLabels_$LANGAUGE$.properties file which contains the translations of labels.
So this is what you have to do for a new language:
First of all, you have to copy and translate every lesson plan that you need in the new language, and then you also have to create a WebGoatLabels_$LANGUAGE$.properties file with that labels that will be used in these lessons. Atm WebGoat crashes throws an exception when a label is missing but this can be sorted out quickly.

<p><b>Lesson Plan Title: </b>How to Perform Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS)</p>
</div>
<p><b>Concept / Topic To Teach:</b> </p>
<!-- Start Instructions -->
It is always a good practice to validate all input on the server side.
XSS can occur when unvalidated user input is used in an HTTP response.
In a reflected XSS attack, an attacker can craft a URL with the attack
script and post it to another website, email it, or otherwise get a
victim to click on it.
<!-- Stop Instructions -->
<p><b>General Goal(s):</b> </p>
For this exercise, your mission is to come up with some input containing a script. You have to try to get this page to reflect that input back to your browser, which will execute the script and do something bad.
