version 3.4 of icu4j, the super cool i18n java library, has just been released. if you do i18n work in coldfusion or java, this is the library. you can download it from here, it's readme file can be found here. and since i'm on a timezone craze this week, i also noticed that the timezone class has added generic timezones (like "Pacific Time", "United Kingdom", etc.) that should help simplify things a bit.

do youself a favor, get this library.

Thanks, Paul, for keeping us abreast of these releases! ICU has made internationalization of our products so much easier and robust.

Paul,

I am in the process of trying to convince my employer to globalize their 70+ sites using many of the recommendations you have made. What I was hoping to find were some good examples of companies who have developed globalized sites using ColdFusion that might help me convince them that we can acheive a rich user-experience while still adhering to globalization standards? Currently we simple maintain a seperate copy of each site for each supported language.
