ABSTRACT:
A system and method for independently configuring international location and language in a computer system generates composite locales for user-selected location and language combinations whenever a user-selected location and language combination is unsupported by default locales. The system includes a location format retrieval element for retrieving location-specific formatting data and a language format retrieval element for retrieving language-specific formatting data. A composite locale generator combines retrieved location-specific and language-specific data to generate a composite locale. In a preferred embodiment, a composite locale is generated from default locales. The location format retrieval element retrieves location-specific formatting data from a first default locale and the language format retrieval element retrieves language-specific formatting data from a second default locale. The composite locale is generated by combining the formatting data retrieved from the first and second default locales. In an alternative embodiment, a composite locale is generated from data retrieved from a location database and from a language database.
