JDK-4461740 - Java locales at 1.1.8_13 dealing with international currency symbols
Description
In the locale file sun.text.resources.LocaleElements_sv, the "group
(thousands) separator" has changed from Java 1.4 to 5.0, from "\u00a0"
to ".". Could you please comment on why this has been changed?  To my
knowledge, Swedish still uses a hard-space as such separator and Windows
uses a space in the Swedish locale.

EVALUATION I transfer this bug to the L10n team. The separator was modified as the fix for 4461740. ###@###.### 10/22/04 01:42 GMT Check the CR 2121133 for evaluation. Once fixed for mustang we ask for permissions to portback to Tiger UR. ###@###.### 2004-12-02 13:00:59 GMT Copying the evaluation from child CR 2121133: Checking various resources: 1. http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/locale/common/main/sv.xml 2. http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/locale/common/main/sv_SE.xml 3. http://oss.software.ibm.com/cgi-bin/icu/lx/?d_=en&_=sv_SE 4. http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/nlsweb/default.asp?submitted=41d First two (1 and 2) are not specifying the thousands separator. Resources 3. and 4. are in conflict for currency pattern (nbsp vs. point). Sending an email to Svenska spr��kn��mnden (language institute) for clarification. ###@###.### 10/27/04 10:30 GMT As the Swedish language institute has not replied within a month together with ###@###.### we made a decision to use the non-breakable space. As a reference we used texts on Swedish academy (http://www.svenskaakademien.se). ###@###.### 2004-12-02 12:29:06 GMT Fix implemented following way: sccs sccsdiff -r 1.22 -r 1.23 LocaleElements_sv.java ------- LocaleElements_sv.java ------- 532c532 < ".", // group (thousands) separator --- > "\u00a0", // group (thousands) separator In fact this is reverting the CR 4461740. This time it based on known resources (see above). ###@###.### 2004-12-02 13:09:20 GMT ###@###.### 2004-12-09 07:46:41 GMT
