JDK 7
7 b142Fixed

The new feature "6875847: Java Locale Enhancement" introduces new ISO/UN codes that are translatable. i.e.,

- ISO639-2 3 letter language code
- ISO 15924 Script code
- UN M49 area code

(in src/share/classes/sun/util/resources/LocaleNames.properties)

Those names need to be translated in our supported JRE languages.

EVALUATION The agreement now is to push the changes for 9 legacy JRE locales + newly added codes into jdk7 and work on pt_BR at 7-update release.
