locale - Java method setLanguageTag() accepts invalid region code -
the method setlanguagetag()
of class locale.builder
class validates locale
. acceptable locale
given in java doc .
the standard states valid locale
has region of regex [a-za-z]{2} | [0-9]{3}
. method validates language usa
( 3 characters )
i gave input locale en-usa
, correctly validated. isn't bug in method should have thrown exception ?
[edit] mean en-usa valid locale ? mistaking usa other tag being region ? , reason why validating it.
so, went through code , found out there category extlang in locale , accepts 3 characters. accepts part after - extlang rather country. locale "en-usa" gets validated.
