176785 - JavaScript toLocaleString() method doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 153586

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Yuying Long]

Build: 10-25 trunk and branch build.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Write a html page that contains a JavaScript with toLocaleString() method. -
I'll attach the test cases for Date and Number objects.
2. Load the pages in browser window, notice their format.
3. Go to Control Panel | Region and Language settings, change them to some other
languages, e.g. German or Chinese...etc.
4. Reload the pages again.

Result:
The display won't be changed following by the region and language settings in
Control Panel, e.g. in German locale, the number should be displayed as 1.234,57
instead of 1234.5678; and date format should be: Freitag, 25. Oktober 2002
14:19:47 instead of Friday, October 25, 2002 14:19:47.

This method works properly in IE.
