    Description

      Since we’ve upgraded to Magnolia 6.x, we have been using the newer supported locale names for Java 8 which replaces the locale names for Java 7.

      This change includes switching the “_” character to a “-”, for example “en_GB” to “en-GB”. As a result, custom code from users who have been using the older format do not have any steps on how to use their old code with the new format. Documentation does not warn users of this change either, nor is there any documentation for users on how to go about managing this code with the new locale names.
