[WG: I18N & L10N] Request for reviewing

[Daniel Merino]

Hi Yuki,

thank you very much for your page, I think that it will be very useful.

Just to clarify it, Java doesn't support several locales. It seems that 
they added a mechanism for allowing to add new locales at: 
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4052440 but I think 
that few people use it nowadays.

If you take a look, all the basque results of your study are the same 
that english locale, because basque locale is not supported and it takes 
the english default values.

Sakai must have (and it has, I think) mechanisms to override Java's 
locale settings by locally configured settings. For example, decimal 
separator character should be a comma in basque language, like in most 
non-english European countries, but our users must work with dots when 
they work in basque in 2.7.1. I think that this is solved in 2.9 in most 
of the tools, but it's a shame that Java doesn't provide a good solution 
by itself.

Best regards.
