Simon Helsen created JENA-407:
---------------------------------
Summary: toLowerCase without Locale.English causing trouble in
some language regions (Turkey especially)
Key: JENA-407
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-407
Project: Apache Jena
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ARQ
Affects Versions: Jena 2.10.0
Reporter: Simon Helsen
Priority: Minor
The instance I am referring to concretely is the language tag constructor:
LanguageTag.
It makes the following call on line 41: String lc = tag.toLowerCase(); This
should be corrected to String lc = tag.toLowerCase(Locale.English);
The problem is that otherwise, it use the machine default language to produce
the lower cases which in some Locales (Turkey being one of them) incorrectly
lowercases letters like 'I'. Because the tag is a 'technical' term (not an
actual piece of language) it should lowercase in English
The effect of this particular instance is that we see
System.err.println("Internal Error in static initializer of IanaLnaguageTag.")
appear in std.err and it has raised concerns with our customers.
In general, any occurrence of toLowerCase should be adjusted if it lowercases a
technical term.
