Folks,

I recently worked on some localization issues and noticed that, in my opinion, these JARs are incorrectly named:

tomcat-i18n-cs.jar
tomcat-i18n-de.jar
tomcat-i18n-es.jar
tomcat-i18n-fr.jar
tomcat-i18n-ja.jar
tomcat-i18n-ko.jar
tomcat-i18n-pt-BR.jar
tomcat-i18n-ru.jar
tomcat-i18n-zh-CN.jar

Most people confuse I18N with L10N -- but they are distinct. According to Mozilla [1] Tomcat is internationalized and provides localization with those bundles. As far as I understand that, they should be

either tomcat-l10n-<locale>.jar or tomcat-nls-<locale>.jar

NLS (native language support), for those who are familiar with LC_MESSAGES and gettext/libintl or similar.

I don't know wether this can be backported to 8.5 or 9.0 due to file renames, but should be an issue with 10.
