Michael,

If my OS lanugage is Norsk, when I print this I get:

System.out.println("Printing Info");

System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version"));

System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.language"));

System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.country"));

System.out.println(java.util.Locale.getDefault().getLanguage());

Printing Info

1.5.0_13

but if instead I setup the language to be Spanish, then I get this:

Printing Info
1.5.0_13
es
ES
es

And this is where my confusion comes...

thanks for replying.

Melissa

Hi,

this is my problem:
when my application is installed and the OS is in Norsk Bokmal (norwegian) the call to
Locale.getDefault().getLanguage()
returns en, for English, even though the OS locale is set to Norsk.

I am using latest java 1.5 in a Mac OS X 10.5.3

Is this a bug filed somewhere? if so , could I get a link or confirmation that this is a bug?

What does this show?

public class Localization {

public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version"));
System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.language"));
System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.country"));
System.out.println(java.util.Locale.getDefault().getLanguage());
}

}
