History
ColdFusion MX 7: Added support for all locales supported by the ColdFusion MX Java runtime.
ColdFusion MX:
•
Changed formatting behavior: this function might return a different value than in earlier
releases. This function uses Java standard locale determination and formatting rules on all
platforms.
•
Deprecated the Spanish (Mexican) locale option. It might not work, and it might cause an
error, in later releases.
•
Changed the Spanish (Modern) option: it now sets the locale to Spanish (Standard).
Parameters
Usage
You can specify any locale name that is listed in the Server.Coldfusion.SupportedLocales variable.
This variable is a comma-delimited list of all locale names supported by the JVM, plus the locale
names that were required by ColdFusion MX prior to ColdFusion MX 7.
The following locale names were used in ColdFusion releases through ColdFusion MX 6.1, and
continue to be supported. If you use any of these values in the
SetLocale
function, the
GetLocale
function returns the name you set, not the corresponding Java locale name.
Parameter
Description
new_locale
The name of a locale; for example, "English (US)"
Chinese (China)
French (Belgian)
Korean
Chinese (Hong Kong)
French (Canadian)
Norwegian (Bokmal)
