Boris Kolpackov commented on XERCESC-2204:
------------------------------------------
I am not sure about this. While we do not provide translations ourselves, I
believe at least with ICU they can be loaded dynamically. In other words, there
could be applications out there relying on that functionality (or, admittedly
less realistically, there could be application that will want this
functionality in the future – internationalization is often an afterthought).
Secondly, I believe such a change would require a new major release (since it
won't be source-compatible) and probably a vote. More generally, I've seen a
few other bug reports from you (e.g., requiring std::mutex) that I believe
would require 4.0.0. So I am wondering what's the overall goal here? Are you
signing up to modernize Xerces-C++ ;)?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2204
> Project: Xerces-C++
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Miscellaneous
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0
> Reporter: Roger Leigh
> Assignee: Roger Leigh
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.3.0
>
>
> We support several different message loaders (inmemory, icu, iconv).
> However... we don't have any translations to actually warrant all this
> complexity, and likely never will. We have the basic en_US and that's it.
> So this code is essentially unused, and I don't see much prospect of it being
> used in the future given that there have been zero translations written in
> the last two decades.
> In order to reduce the size of the test matrix and reduce the maintenance
> burden, I'd like to ask if this is something we could safely drop?
> See also XALANC-808 which is the same issue for Xalan-C.
