I have an app that deals with currency. For display purposes I use the nifty VB FormatCurrency function which will format based on the OS's region setting. So, if in France you might get 123,45 where in the US you would get 123.45. To perform calculation on these amounts I use CDec() to convert to decimal. My problem is that when I c...

Hi, my site changes its locale dependent upon either user settings or browser settings (where the user hasn't set their preference).

There are many ways to format ...

I have some static resources (images and HTML files) that will be localized. One piece of software I've seen do this is Apache, which appends the locale to the name; for example, test_en_US.html or test_de_CH.html. I'm wondering whether this naming scheme is considered standard, or whether every project does it differently. ...
Can you suggest a locale-aware way to validate a currency value on the client using Javascript? Obvious issue to consider: 1,234.56 in the US and UK is the same as 1.234,56 in most of Europe Sri ...
The following bit of code sets the Locale from lang param on querystring. <c:if test="${param['lang'] != null}"> <fmt:setLocale value="${param['lang']}" scope="session"/> </c:if> How do I now read that variable?

[EDIT] this happend on OSX with Java 1.5! (but may also happen on Windows!) It seems japanese users of my Java Swing program cannot write japanese symbols in JTextFields. Actually they can write them but do not see them. They only see blocks which somehow indicates I think that the font does not support these symbols. I set my own font...

I'm trying to get a feel for how to manipulate characters and character sets in UNIX accurately given the existance of differing locales - and doing so without requiring special tools outside of UNIX standard items.

That is, if I have "English (United States)" I'd like to get "en-US", or an appropriate java.util.Locale. It looks like the API is a one-way street, but perhaps I'm not looking in the right place. Thanks in advance. ...

A common international issue is the conversion of double values represented in strings. These stuff is found in a lot of areas. Starting with csv files which are either called comma separated or character separated because sometimes they are stored like 1.2,3.4 5.6,6.4 in English regions or 1,2;3,4 5,6;6,4 in for example Ger...

But no matter what I do the format uses "." instead of ",", not according to my locale (pt_BR). priceSpinner = new JSpinner(); priceSpinner.setEditor(new JSpinner.NumberEditor(priceSpinner, "0.00")); Is it possible to use "," instead of "." as a decimal separato...

Hi everyone, Lately we've started getting issues with outdated countries / regions list being presented to users of our web-application. We currently have a few DB tables to store localized country names along with their regions (states). However as the planet goes, that list is in constant evolution and it's proving to be a pain to...
