Potential OFBiz Localization Bugs

In the trunk rev 658045 I committed some localization work. My intention 
was to fix all of the quirky localization issues that keep popping up.

I took the shotgun approach and localized all numeric and date-time 
conversions - believing that the majority of those conversions should be 
localized. The exceptions could be handled on a case-by-case basis.

That commit solved a number of localization issues, but (as was pointed 
out on the user ml today) it introduced a bug in order number and 
invoice number generation. IDs were being localized. IDs are one of the 
exceptions to localization. I fixed that issue in rev 672343.

If anyone can think of any other exceptions, please let me know and I 
will take care of it.

-Adrian

Hi Scott,

I did not see any issue at https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/pendingReviews (I tried in English and French)
Moreover it seems that there are no entries for "StatusItem" but a lot for "StatusItem.description.*"
In brief, I guess it needs more informations

Oh hey, if you're looking at the localization stuff, I just noticed this
isn't working:
review.getRelatedOne("StatusItem").get("description", locale)
Here:
https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/pendingReviews

I haven't looked into why but the key does exist in CommonEntityLabels.xml

Scott

Scott,

The bug would appear while converting a numeric or timestamp data type to a String. I believe phone numbers are Strings.

Phone numbers?  I haven't checked if there's a problem, it's just the first
thing that came to mind.
