you have to be careful with this. cf relies on core java for it's locale resource data which is often out-to-lunch (recent case in point, core java up to version 6 flubs en_Au & en_NZ time formats, there are gobs & gobs of other problems--the devil *is* in the details). you need to test your supported locale's data in core java versus something more "standard" like the CLDR project www.unicode.org/cldr/ then decide your approach (native cf i18n bits which are easier to use & a bit faster vs something like icu4j which runs off the CLDR data & has other goodies like non-gregorian calendars). > particular site has around 50 different international sites pointing which really argues for the more traditional approach of resource bundles & their ecosystem. i would hate to manage something this complex w/notepad or it's equivalent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
