see reply 15 and this part:
About the tutorial :
I have only read the tutorial. I have not done it.
A missing point in this tutorial is the format of dates and numbers.
If i have a doubleConverter for a textfield, the decimal separator is always the
dot. In french, it should be the comma.
Other comments about the tutorial: I have not read how to deal with messages
with parameters.
A step by step process to explain how to change system messages is missing. 

can both of this be added to the applicalble i18n tutorial(s) ?

Description (Entry 2):
Another customer gave the tutorial a "poor" rating with this comment:

decimal separator...

This is good information to add to the tutorial.

Evaluation:
The information that the customer requests will be good to add to the tutorial.
 We will add the information when we update the tutorial.
