If no values are supplied, the defaults are taken from the default Locale in the Java VM (which in turn will typically depend on operating system settings).</p> <p>The element contains zero or more child <code>localization</code> elements as detailed below.</p> <p>Each <code>localization</code> element may have the following attributes:</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <td content="para"> <p> <b>Attribute</b> </p> </td> <td content="para"> <p> <b>Values</b> </p> </td> <td content="para"> <p> <b>Effect</b> </p> </td> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td content="para"> <p>lang</p> </td> <td content="para"> <p>An ISO language code, for example "en" or "fr-CA" (mandatory)</p> </td> <td content="para"> <p>The language to which this localization relates</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td content="para"> <p>class</p> </td> <td content="para"> <p>The name of a class that implements the interface <code>net.sf.saxon.number.Numberer</code> </p> </td> <td content="para"> <p>The class that performs localization for the specified language</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td content="para"> <p>additional attributes</p> </td> <td content="para"> <p>Additional attributes are passed on to a user-specified <code>LocalizationFactory</code> </p> </td> <td content="para"> <p>The meaning of these attributes depends entirely on the <code>LocalizationFactory</code>.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Note that numberers for various European languages (da, de, fr, dr-BE, it, nl, nl-BE, sv) are supplied in package <code>net.sf.saxon.option.local</code>. In Saxon-PE and Saxon-EE these are compiled into the standard JAR file, but they are not configured by default. In Saxon-HE they are not built-in to the product, but can be integrated from the supplied source code in the same way as user-written localizations.</p> <table width="100%"> <tr> <td> <p align="right"><a class="nav" href="../config-features.xml">Next</a></p> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
