Supported Locales

JDK 1.2

Document Revision Date: 1/27/99

On the Java platform, there does not have to be a single set of supported locales, since each class maintains its own localizations. Nevertheless, there is a consistent set of localizations supported by the JDK classes. Other implementations of the Java platform may support different locales than the JDK. Those supported by the JDK are summarized in the following table. Subsequent releases of the JDK may include additional locales.

Locales whose names end with the string "_EURO" are variant locales with euro currency support.
