In particular I want to guarantee that the formatting of a number uses , (commmas) for separating digits regardless of the current locale of the device. NSNumberFormatter *numFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init]; [numFormatter setLocal:@"??????"] ...
How to make locale aware uppercase operation? Standard tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' trick doesn't work: =$ echo żółw | tr "[:lower:]" "[:upper:]" żółW (it should be ŻÓŁW) I'd rather avoid having to run Perl or anything such heavy-weight. ...
How do you find valid locale names? I am currently using MAC OS X. But information about other platforms would also be useful. #include <fstream> #include <iostream> int main(int argc,char* argv[]) { try { std::wifstream data; data.imbue(std::locale("en_US.UTF-16")); data.open("Plop"); } catch...
Extending from this questions about locales And described in this question: What I really wanted to do was install a codecvt facet into the locale that understands UTF-16 files. I could write my own. But I am not a UTF expert and as such I am sure I would get it nearly correct; but it would break at the most inconvenient time. So I was ...

Some results file produced by Fortran programs report double precision numbers (in scientific notation) using the letter D instead of E, for instance: 1.2345D+02 # instead of 1.2345E+02 I need to process huge amounts of this data using Python, and I just realized it cannot read the numbers in the D notation, for instance: >>> A = 1.0...
java.util.Locale is one of those classes where I wonder whether I'm too stupid or the guy who wrote it. Is Mark Davis around? As far as I can see, this class isn't supposed to be used. The internal cache in the class is private. The factory package private. equals() uses == to compare strings. This means that I can't compare instances o...
I have a library which needs to parse double numbers which always use a point '.' as decimal separator. Unfortunately for this case, strtod() respects the locale which might use a different separator and thus parsing can fail. I can't setlocale() - it isn't thread-safe. So I'm searching for a clean locale-independent strtod implementatio...
I have following C++ code sample: void SetVaArgs(const char* fmt, const va_list argList) { setlocale( LC_ALL, "C" ); // 1 m_FormatBufferLen = ::_vsnprintf(m_FormatBuffer, Logger::MAX_LOGMESSAGE_SIZE, fmt, argList); setlocale( LC_ALL, "" ); //2 m_FormatBufferLen = ::_vsnprintf(m_FormatBuffer, Logger::MAX_LOGMESSAGE_SIZE, ...
I want to change some of the strings in the language file for my language in Django. I can of course just change the .po file, but that seems unwise because if I update Django the file will be changed again. What is the best way to do this? I don't care if the solution is for the specific app I'm working on or for my entire Django inst...
Hello, I'm trying to convert a C++ string to a wstring. I found the following code, that seems to deal with accents, which is what I'm looking for. std::wstring widen(const std::string& s) { std::vector<wchar_t> buffer(s.size()); std::locale loc("fr_FR"); std::use_facet< std::ctype<wchar_t> >(loc).widen(s.data(), s.data() + ...

Hi all, I'm trying to format a float (extended) by the system locale's default currency settings. I have found the key proponent to this solution to be the following line: GetLocaleFormatSettings(LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, format_settings); and everywhere I look, they provide the solution exactly as shown (no class specifier before, li...
Hi im wondering would it be possible to create global interceptor and set locale there. I have urlrewrite rules to rewrite /fr/* to /*?siteLang=fr I see examples how to set locale based on parameter but they all are the same and require me to use url mappings.

A user of my program has reported problems reading a settings file written by my program. I looked at the settings file in question and instead of decimal points using the period "." it uses commas ",". I'm assuming this is to do with locales? The file i/o is using fprintf and mpfr_out_str for file output and getline combined with ato...
The program saves a settings file as text which contains floating point numbers of type long double. The settings file can only be saved via the GUI (GTK2), while files can also be loaded via the command line and without bringing up the GUI. Unfortunately, a user reports that in the files he has saved, due to his locale setting, the num...
