Locale doesn"t exists in Java


I am from Turkmenistan and I used JDatePicker to get a date. Is it possible to use the Turkmen locale in Java?

  1. I don't know how to add a complete new Locale to the JRE (sounds like a lot of work), but you can localize the Swing components that you need with arbitrary message bundles. And I suppose you would need to also write a custom DateFormatter.

  2. Take a look to this answer Missing Locales in Java?, that give you a clue to your problem.

  3. Use java.util.TimeZone.
    Check your nearest country's timezone using the below code

    for(String locale : java.util.TimeZone.getAvailableIDs())
    {
    System.out.println(locale);
    }


    convert your date picker time to this timezone.

  4. Locale is a final class, with a predefined list of Locales. I suggest you try finding a Locale which works for your situation.

    The only other option is to modify a copy of the Locale class and add it to your bootclasspath or endorsed directory.
