Add Data Formats for a New Locale

The cogformat.xml file contains most locales already. However, if necessary, you can add data formats for a new locale.

Add a block of XML code for each of the data formats type.

Procedure

Copy and paste a similar block of XML code for each data format type. For example, if you want to add a new locale such as en-xx, copy and paste the XML code that defines time formats for the en-CA (English Canadian) locale:

...
<formatList name="qstimes" xml:lang="en-ca">
  <timeFormat timeStyle="short">1:30 PM</timeFormat>
  <timeFormat timeStyle="medium">1:30:55 PM</timeFormat>
  <timeFormat timeStyle="long">1:30:55 EST PM</timeFormat>
  <timeFormat timeStyle="full">1:30:55 o&apos;clock
PM EST</timeFormat>
</formatList>...

Change the name of the locale. For example, for the new locale en-xx, change the first line of the copied code to:
```
<formatList name="qstimes" xml:lang="en-xx">
```
Change the data formats as required, following the instructions in one of the following sections:
Make similar changes for the other data format types for the new locale.
