>             Project: Commons Lang
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.3

>
> The {{toLocale()}} method is unable to handle locale strings that have custom extensions that are completely valid according to the [BCP47 spec|https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47#section-4]. Oracle documentation for sub tag extensions can be [found here|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/locale/extensions.html].
> An example locale string with a custom extension might be {{fr-CA-x-nb}}.
> This issue seems to have been introduced with ticket LANG-915.
