EVALUATION Looking into a current implementation and found that: - Brazil, Iceland, Israel and South Africa use no space between number and %, no fix required. - Switzerland uses german, french and italian. In german and french they should have space between number and %. Italian has no space. - nl_BE and nl_NL requires fix: "#.##0%" -> "#.##0 pct" but according CLDR it uses % - Canadian province Quebec: fr_CA "#��##0%" -> "#��##0 %", verified with documents from http://www.gouv.qc.ca/portail/quebec/ - Turkey requires fix: "#.##0%" -> "%#.##0" - for arabic formats will stay as is. Need to improve the arabic digit handling first. Do fixes in j2se:src/share/classes/sun/text/resources/FormatData respective files.
