Yep.  I'll leave this to you then.  Thanks!

Try:

  java -Duser.region=fr -Duser.language=FR org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process
-xsl stylesheet-name

I was just looking at this too.  Great minds think alike.

I'm not sure if the format strings are supposed to vary by locale or
whether the symbols are fixed by the XSLT definition.  I was looking
into that when your email arrived.
