What's "messageSource"? Because it's not a ResourceBundle as that
doesn't have "getMessage" method.

You might find something useful here:
http://freemarker.org/docs/pgui_misc_beanwrapper.html
Look for the occurrences of ResourceBundle on this page. AFAIR it
should automatically select the messages with the locale that
corresponds to the "locale" setting of FreeMarker.

If you need something more special, then you can always write a
TemplateMethodEx implementation and put it into the data-model or
create it in an #import-ed/#include-ed library with
"com.example.MyMessageSource"?new().
