Answer 1

Use

ResourceBundle.getBundle("com.horstmann.violet.application.MenuFactory",locale)

or

ResourceBundle.getBundle("com/horstmann/violet/application/MenuFactory",locale)

Answer 2

I think you specify bundle in an incorrect way. There should be no suffix _pl as it should be automatically added from your locale. Similarly there should be no .properties extension. this is the format to be followed (from a tutorial given below):

ResourceBundle labels = ResourceBundle.getBundle("LabelsBundle", currentLocale);

See more info on Java: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/resbundle/propfile.html

So to change your language you need to change Locale ie:

Locale locale = new Locale("pl");
myResources = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MenuFactory",locale);

More on locale and i18n here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/locale/create.html
