I was going to use the ICU4J libraries as they included extra features for calendars, etc. which I thought could come in handy down the road. In my CFC I was actually using com.ibm.icu.util.ULocale. >well for one thing, getLocale() returns the *server* locale as a cf >locale, i imagine you'd want the user's locale? how are you determining >or handling the user locale? I was under the impression that getLocale() and setLocale() worked on the current request. I was using setLocale(myQuery.userLocale) to set the current request to the users locale and then within my CFC manage working with that locale to get the correct RB file. When working with what I have set up now, I have a few lines in my application.cfc that uses setLocale(userLocale) to set their requests to the correct locale. But in certain cases where I've got say "us_GB" stored for the user, CF will return "English(UK)" which forces my CFC to fail to render things correctly. Is there another way I should handle this?
