Localization

This chapter describes the facilities in Saxon to adapt the behavior to the needs of different countries and different languages.

These facilities divide into three categories:

• Formatting numbers
• Formatting dates
• Collations (sorting and comparison of strings)

For further information about localizing the formatting of numbers and dates see:

• Localizing numbers and dates
• Numbers and dates from ICU

For further information about using collations see:
