Localization 19
* In ColdFusion MX for Portuguese (Brazilian), the Java medium time format (for
example, 06:55:27) does not work. However, the short, long, and full formats all
work as expected; for example, 05h04min30s PST, 5h4min30s PST, and 05:04.
For more information, see LSIsCurrency() in CFML Reference.
Changes to formatting functions
ColdFusion MX uses Java standard locale formatting rules on all platforms.
ColdFusion 5 uses Windows or UNIX locale formatting rules, depending on the
ColdFusion platform. For information on Java standard locale formatting rules, see the
Java documentation for the Locale class (java.util.Locale) at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/index.html.
Some functions in ColdFusion MX produce slightly different results than in
ColdFusion 5. Many of these differences are improvements. For example, in ColdFusion
MX,
LSCurrencyFormat() returns the correct international currency code for countries
other than the US, and correctly rounds the currency values for countries whose currency
does not include cents. The greatest improvement is that the same code produces the
same results, regardless of the ColdFusion platform.
Some of the differences might require a slight adjustment in your ColdFusion
application. For example,
LSCurrencyFormat() in ColdFusion MX formats some
negative currency values differently than in ColdFusion 5, such as inserting a leading
minus sign (–) instead of enclosing the value in parentheses.
The rest of this section describes changes that affect specific locales and every locale.
