Localization

In SaxonCS-EE, collation URIs for the Unicode Collation Algorithm are implemented using the ICU4N library, which is not as complete as its Java counterpart, ICU4J.

Localization of dates (specifically, month names and day-of-the-week names for different languages, as requested using format-date()) is implemented from SaxonCS 11.1. The data is obtained from the .NET platform interfaces: CultureInfo.DateTimeFormatInfo.

From Saxon 13, spelled-out formatting of numbers ("one", "two", "three"), which can be requested using xsl:number, format-integer(), or format-date(), is available for languages other than English via a dependency on the ICU4N library.
