FreeMarker now includes the option to expose the Spring Macro Helpers. In your WebMVC config, add resolver.setExposeSpringMacroHelpers(true);

Now in your *.ftl file, you can call springMacroRequestContext.getMessage(code, argsArray, "", escapeHtml)

You can then just assign this to a shorthand function:

<#function msg code args=[] escapeHtml=true>

    <#local argsArray = [] />

    <#if args?is_string>
        <#local argsArray = [args] />
    <#elseif args?is_sequence>
        <#local argsArray = args />
    <#else>
        <#return "" />
    </#if>

    <#return springMacroRequestContext.getMessage(code, argsArray, "", escapeHtml) />

</#function>
