Java locale codes and the ICU library

The ICU library uses Java locale codes to identify specific regional settings. For PolicyCenter to be able to access the ICU library for a region, the locale code for that region must be defined in the LocaleType typelist. In the base configuration, PolicyCenter provides the following set of Java locale codes in the LocaleType typelist:

en_US United States (English)
en_GB Great Britain (English)
en_CA Canada (English)
en_AU Australia (English)
fr_CA Canada (French)
fr_FR France (French)
de_DE Germany (German)
ja_JP Japan (Japanese)

The Java locale codes defined in this typelist are used by PolicyCenter as follows:

• To define the locale codes that you can use to set the default application locale, as described in Setting the default application locale for regional formats
• To access the regional formats for a locale supplied by the ICU library, as described in Overview of the International Components for Unicode (ICU) library
