How to internationalization SAXParseException while parsing XML file?

Question

I've got a problem similar to this question: SAXParseException localized

I'm trying to parse a XML file and get a list of parser errors (SAXParseException) in a several languages for example:

XmlImporter.importFile(params, "en") should return a list of errors in English, XmlImporter.importFile(params, "fr") should return a list of errors in French, XmlImporter.importFile(params, "pl") should return a list of errors in Polish language.

Every call of XmlImporter.importFile(params, "...") may be with a different locale.

This is my validation method:

private void validate(String xmlFilePath, String schemaFilePath) throws Exception {
    SchemaFactory schemaFactory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
    Schema schema = schemaFactory.newSchema(new File(schemaFilePath));
    Validator validator = schema.newValidator();

    XmlErrorHandler errorHandler = new XmlErrorHandler();
    validator.setErrorHandler(errorHandler);

    try (InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(new File(xmlFilePath))) {
        validator.validate(new StreamSource(stream));
    }

XmlErrorHandler:

public class XmlErrorHandler implements ErrorHandler {

    private List<String> errorsList = new ArrayList<>();

    public List<String> getErrorsList() {
        return errorsList;
    }

    @Override
    public void warning(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException {
        errorsList.add(prepareExceptionDescription(exception));
    }

    @Override
    public void error(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException {
        errorsList.add(prepareExceptionDescription(exception));
    }

    @Override
    public void fatalError(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException {
        errorsList.add(prepareExceptionDescription(exception));
    }

    private String prepareExceptionDescription(SAXParseException exception) {
        return "Error: " +
                "colNumber: " + exception.getColumnNumber() +
                " line number: " + exception.getLineNumber() +
                " message: " + exception.getLocalizedMessage();
    }
}

I assume, that I need to pass somehow/somewhere java.util.Locale/String to get in exception.getLocalizedMessage() custom message (in en, fr or pl)?

By the default Xerces (Java Parser which is used to convert XML file to Java object) could provide internationalization for given languages:

• XMLSchemaMessages_de.properties XMLSchemaMessages_es.properties
• XMLSchemaMessages_fr.properties XMLSchemaMessages_it.properties
• XMLSchemaMessages_ja.properties XMLSchemaMessages_ko.properties
• XMLSchemaMessages_pt_BR.properties XMLSchemaMessages_sv.properties
• XMLSchemaMessages_zh_CN.properties XMLSchemaMessages_zh_TW.properties

To provide internationalization in other language:

1. Get XMLSchemaMessages.properties file from Apache Xerces and rename file to a new file XMLSchemaMessages_LANG.properties , where LANG needs to be changed to a new language.

2. Update file's messages to a new language and place this file in a classpath (You can add this file to src\\main\\resources\\com\\sun\\org\\apache\\xerces\\internal\\impl\\msg )

3. Exceptions will be visible in a new language (messages will be taken from XMLSchemaMessages_LANG.properties file)
