NLS: Translation to always honor view locale not formatting locale
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TRINIDAD-879
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-879
Project: MyFaces Trinidad
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jeanne Waldman
Assignee: Jeanne Waldman
Trinidad embedded translations should always honor "view locale".
Problem:
1. Usually Trinidad embedded translations are honoring "view
locale"
2. However, when "formatting locale" is specified, translations will be
following formatting locale instead.
In theory, only localization definitions (such as date format
pattern) should follow formatting locale.
Here's a testcase. The idea is:
- we would like to have formatting support according to locale "Traditional
Chinese-Hong Kong" (zh-HK).
- However, language translations in Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) due
to that fact that we do not provide zh-HK translations.

===================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<trinidad-config xmlns="http:?/?/myfaces.apache.org?/trinidad?/config">
<formatting-locale>zh-HK</formatting-locale>
</trinidad-config>
Problem:
While formatting is presented in zh-HK, language translations are not shown
in Traditional Chinese.
Valid example: 98ChineseChar11ChineseChar29ChineseChar
As a Reference Testcase:
Remove formatting-locale in trinidad-config.xml (i.e. only view locale =
zh-tw below)
Traditional Chinese translations present and shown correctly.
ChineseChars "23245" ChineseChars. ChineseChars: "1998/11/29".
While Trinidad supports more than 130 locales in terms of
localization formatting (there are 132 files of
META-INF/adf/jsLibs/resources/LocaleElements_*.js),
- there are only 32 languages provided for translations (there are 33 files
of oracle/adfinternal/view/faces/renderkit/rich/resource/RichBundle_*.class)
A fallback approach will be often required for appropriate i18n support. For
example:
