Number/Currenct formatting by locale

[Keith Clarke]

Bob, 
Just a couple of thoughts - I don't know what you're trying to achieve with your app, but are you sure you even want to have such settings to follow the user's machine/OS settings automatically? 

From my experience with multi-locale/currency/language software products - ERP, CRM, etc - localisation settings tend to be associated with entities (including, of course, the user entity!) rather than bubble-up from the  environment in which the app is being accessed. For example, if I log into Salesforce.com from an internet cafe, whilst on holiday in the Maldives (some hope!), I still want my reports to follow my personal user-based preference for locale, rather than the machine I happen to be using or its IP address.     

Also, multi-currency apps tend to have a limited number of supported currencies so that exchange rates can be managed.

Ignore all this if it's outside the scope of your current considerations.
Best,
Keith..
