Java localizing number formatting
Java uses period in decimals, e.g. 1/2 = 0.5 Is there any way to make it use comma instead, as in 1/2 = 0,5? And not to use comma for thousands (as in one hundred thousand = 100,000) but use space instead (100 000)? When it comes to output I suppose I could use all sorts of string format functions, but the problem is input (JTable). ...

How to get the same value as the user is seeing from a JFormattedTextField?
I'm using a NumberFormatter and JFormattedTextField, but the .getValue() doesn't return the same value as the user is seeing.

Is it possible to set the CultureInfo for an .NET application or just a thread?
I've an application written in C# which has no GUI or UI, but instead writes files that are parsed by another application (in XML and others).

In Java, why does the decimal separator follow the Locale's language, not its country, and, more importantly, how does one override it?
Hello, I'm working on an international project and have observed that, in Java, the choice of the decimal separator is based on the Locale's language, not its country. For example: DecimalFormat currencyFormatter = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance(new Locale("it","IT")); System.out.println(currencyFormatter.format(-123456.78));...

Can you get access to the NumberFormatter used by ICU MessageFormat
This may be a niche question but I'm working with ICU to format currency strings. I've bumped into a situation that I don't quite understand.

When using the getInstance() method of the abstract java.text.NumberFormat class, what is the actual class of the return value?
This question expands upon the one at abstract-class-numberformat-very-confused-about-getinstance. I feel that this question is different enough to merit being asked on its own. In the answers to that question, it was stated that a code statement such as NumberFormat en = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.US); returns an object that is...
