RE: Mixing currencies and locales
Hi,
Can java.util.Currency in JDK 1.4 help you out here, perhaps in combination
with java.text.NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance()?
Cheers,

Here's a puzzler:
We need to be able to mix displaying different languages and different
currencies. For example: A user comes in with a locale of es_MX, but they
wish to view the price of their results in Yen. We have the I18N
functionality in place, but I haven't seen a way to handle this kind of
mapping. This would, of course, need to be applicable to non-western
character sets, as well.
One way that I have considered doing this is with simple resource keys, viz:
[in resources_es_MX.properties]
currency.jp=\u00A5{0}.{0}
and repeat this for each langauge/country combination. This would be
incredibly tedious, however. If there is a library or API available I would
certainly prefer to use that route.

RE: Mixing currencies and locales
The parameters that messaging resources take are diverse enough, and beyond
what is normally needed, that you can tack a lot of unintended
functionality into using the usually unused stuff. We do this often with
files like: messages_en_currency.properties, for example.

You just have to make sure that the right things get the right locale
string is all. You can mix anyway you like.
