The localizations element in the configuration file defines classes used to localize the output
of the xsl:number instruction in XSLT, and the functions format-date(),
format-time(), and format-dateTime().
It has two attributes, defaultLanguage and defaultCountry which provide default values
for the lang attribute/argument and the country argument respectively. If no values are supplied,
the defaults are taken from the default Locale in the Java VM (which in turn will typically depend on operating
system settings).
The element contains zero or more child localization elements as detailed below.
Each localization element may have the following attributes:
|
Attribute |
Values |
Effect |
|
lang |
An ISO language code, for example "en" or "fr-CA" (mandatory) |
The language to which this localization relates |
|
class |
The name of a class that implements the interface |
The class that performs localization for the specified language |
|
additional attributes |
Additional attributes are passed on to a user-specified |
The meaning of these attributes depends entirely on the |
Note that numberers for various European languages (da, de, fr, dr-BE, it, nl, nl-BE, sv) are supplied
in package net.sf.saxon.option.local. In Saxon-PE and Saxon-EE these are compiled into the standard
JAR file, but they are not configured by default. In Saxon-HE they are not built-in to the product, but can be integrated
from the supplied source code in the same way as user-written localizations.
