Comment by Santiago Pericas-Geertsen:

Do we need anything about this in the spec? Or is this mostly an implementation concern? I'm leaning towards the latter, at least for version 1.0.

Comment by Christian Kaltepoth:

IMO there are a few areas which might need some work regarding different locales / languages:

Validation and binding errors need to be displayed in the "correct" language
Parsing of numbers and dates from HTML input fields depends on the current locale (like which character is used for the decimal separator)

Do we also need a way to configure the default locale for an application?

Comment by Christian Kaltepoth:

+1 for this. And if there is no default locale configured for the application, we could still fall back to Locale.getDefault().

Comment by mkarg:

+1 for default locales at application level and fallback to Locale.getDefault(): There might be cases when the browser's locale doesn't match the supported locales of the server, so the server has to fallback to "something" in the end.

I'm currently working on a prototype. I'll share more details on the mailing list soon.
