I think you can use Spring CharacterEncodingFilter in web.xml. It's clearer.
I'm translating continuum to spanish and I need a UTF-8 filter for menu strings too.
<filter>
<filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class> org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
