Functions. Seems straight forward to use.

What I used worked. I did not look over the source.
Actually, I ran into what I would call a bug. #include <boost/locale.hpp> #include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp> #include <iostream> using namespace boost::locale; int main() { generator gen; std::locale::global(gen("fr_CA.UTF-8")); //std::locale::global(std::locale("")); std::string dbl = boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(3.14); std::cout << dbl << std::endl; std::cin.get(); } My language settings currently use ',' as decimal separator as do the settings for the french (Canada) language settings. The commented out version outputs "3,14000000001". This is what I would expect to happen. The boost::locale version outputs "3.14000000001". It looks to me like the punctuation stuff isn't being set up correctly. The as::number thing doesn't do anything either. Only locale::format catches on and does it right. I managed to get it going by hacking around a bit. Not sure if what I'm doing is actually close to anything that might be what it should be... std::locale loc0(gen("")); std::locale loc1(""); std::locale::global(std::locale(loc0, loc1, std::locale::all)); I'd expect that the delimiters and such would be set up the same in both cases and this merge attempt of mine shouldn't be necessary.
