This is a localisation issue (not internationalisation issue as Alan
suggested).
but the bottom line is whilst many locales are supported that does not
mean that user interface messages are translated into all those locales.
There's a huge cost issue behind that. There was an openjdk project to
add Brazilian Portugese localisation and if Turkish is important then
something similar would need to be done there. But it implies an ongoing
commitment to update those messages and test them and that's a cost too.

Hello,
I've found several problem while using OpenJDK under Turkish Locale.
For some examples:
(All testcase should run with parameter -Duser.language=tr
-Duser.region=TR)
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println(" locale :" + Locale.getDefault());
ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle
("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.resources.windows",
Locale.getDefault());
System.out.println(" STRING :" +
bundle.getString("FileChooser.newFolderActionLabelText"));
}
Excepted results:
locale : tr_TR
STRING : Yeni Klasör
But got:
locale : tr_TR
STRING : New Folder
And
public static void main(String args[]) {
ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("test", Locale
.getDefault());
String sample = bundle.getString("string1");
System.out.println(" FirstString : " + sample);
System.out.println(" SecondString : " +
bundle.getString("string2"));
}
it requires a text file "test_tr.properties" with entries:
test=\u00dcretilen ara kaynak dosyalar\u0131 silinmez\n
test1=abc\u00f3def
Excepted result:
First String : ÜThis is a turkeyı test
Second String : simpleóword
But on windows XP, it was:
First String : ?This is a turkey? test
Second String : simple¨®word
I also see http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6341798, but
sure if it is delivered already.
So my question is, is Turkish Locale officially supported by OpenJDK?
And is there some solutions already for such issues? If no, I can
provide the fix.
