      <h1>The &lt;localizations&gt; element</h1>
      <p>The <code>localizations</code> element in the configuration file defines classes used to localize the output
of the <code>xsl:number</code> instruction in XSLT, and the functions <code>format-date()</code>, 
<code>format-time()</code>, and <code>format-dateTime()</code>.</p>
      <p>It has two attributes, <code>defaultLanguage</code> and <code>defaultCountry</code> which provide default values
for the <code>lang</code> attribute/argument and the <code>country</code> argument respectively. If no values are supplied,
the defaults are taken from the default Locale in the Java VM (which in turn will typically depend on operating
system settings).</p>
      <p>The element contains zero or more child <code>localization</code> elements as detailed below.</p>
      <p>Each <code>localization</code> element may have the following attributes:</p>
      <table>
         <thead>
            <tr>
               <td content="para">

      <p>Note that numberers for various European languages (da, de, fr, dr-BE, it, nl, nl-BE, sv) are supplied
in package <code>net.sf.saxon.option.local</code>. In Saxon-PE and Saxon-EE these are compiled into the standard
JAR file, but they are not configured by default. In Saxon-HE they are not built-in to the product, but can be integrated
from the supplied source code in the same way as user-written localizations.</p>
