Does Java-I18n supports translation of numbers

I have gone thru many sites that deals with i18n using Java. In all the sites the translation of numbers to specific languages is not dealt with. Only the formatting of the numbers are explained.

Some languages have their own glyphs of representing the digits 0-9, though they are not used now. Can anyone let me know whether translation of numbers is really needed for I18n and if needed how is this achieved through Java.

Rgds,

I assume that by "translation" you mean locale-dependent formatting? If you use the locale model in Java, the numbers will be formatted appropriately. For an example, see the number formatting for Arabic in the CLDR here:

if he indeed does mean localized digits, he'll have to use icu4j. arabic locales in core java for instance don't produce "localized digits" but european ones. he'll have to use icu4j's ULocale and it's own formatting functions.

Yes it supports.You just defined a resource bundle and call the unicode strings where u want to display.
