I'm just not a fan of having to call a java method every time I want to format a date. The CF locales cover the Lion's share - I'm sure the rest will be included in a future update.
The java.util.ResourceBundle object is great, but again, more java code - I was going with the straight CF ideal in mind, trying to eliminate any java workarounds. I'm sure you could roll your own ResourceBundle implementation in CF though with some minor effort. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Hastings Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 10:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CFCDev] localization ah details... > On handling date, time, and currency formats: > Take a look at SetLocale and LSDateFormat, LSTimeFormat, and LSNumberFormat that effectively eliminates the other 120 odd locales that java supports. until mx supports all the java locales i wouldn't recommend this approach. use java functions instead. > Languages: > of pages.
