> The OpenNLP feature generation must produce the exact same results independent of the platform local.
> The feature generation code frequently uses String.toLowerCase() which depending on the local might
> produce different results, e.g. when used with a turkish local. That should of course not be the case,
> since the lower cased string will not match the feature which is in the statistical model and might not
> have been generated on a machine with a turkish local.
> Instead the method Characters.toLowerCase(...) should be used, because it is only using the UnicodeData file
> and cannot perform locale-sensitive mappings.
