Hi Nishit, and great to see someone responding:)
To be frank, I only meant adding just translations. But Currency,
Calendar and Collator do not seem to be a big deal either.
My personal interest is in getting Russian language officially supported :)
There is a project at GitHub that contains quite a number of various
string translations to Russian: https://github.com/darkbarker/java-i18n
. I have forked it recently and plan to get it updated, including
reference to the applicable license :)
And if there is a possibility to get support of Russian language
incorporated into OpenJDK / Oracle JDK, I would be glad to follow your
instructions and do a little bit more to get the job done,
Currency/Calendar/Collator/etc included...
Does that answer your question?
Regards,
Sergey Ushakov

Hi Sergey,
Thanks for asking the question. We were discussing it withing our team
and need a little more clarification on that.
Can you please throw some light on what do you mean by adding a
resource bundle to OpenJDK? Do you mean to add a new Locale in itself
(which covers set of locale sensitive classes e.g. Currency, Calendar,
Collator etc.) to OpenJDK or just a set of translations for a
language? An example on that would be very helpful.
Regards,
Nishit Jain

Hi,
Oracle JDK and OpenJDK offer internationalized resources for quite a
number of languages, but there are more languages out there.
There is no big deal for an enthusiastic bilingual programmer in
translating JDK resource bundles into any other language.
Then the question comes how this new bundle might be incorporated
into OpenJDK.
The main i18n page here ( http://openjdk.java.net/groups/i18n/ ) does
contain instructions for making a custom OpenJDK build with extra
locale support, but this procedure yields just a single build, only
known to its author, and with no long-time support...
Is there a procedure for OpenJDK to get the list of supported
languages extended, and corresponding resource bundles incorporated
into the main repository?
Any ideas and/or references are most welcome...
Thanks and best regards,
Sergey Ushakov
