NLS recognition

The [NLS Recognition] section of the abt.ini file enables you to set support for certain languages, territories, and platform IDs. A statement such as

japan.o=81,943-japanese-japan

specifies the following:

japan.o
A unique identifier for your own benefit.

81,943
A platform ID obtained by evaluating Locale current platformid.

japanese
A language.

japan
A territory.

VisualAge Smalltalk reads the statement from back to front. Thus, it first reads japan, then japanese, and so on. You can generally use a dash (-) as a separator. However, if the platform ID contains a dash, you should use a different separator, such as a semi-colon (;), instead.
