      java version "1.3.0"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)

      This is not a bug, but a very inconvenient feature for those people in Taiwan.
      The i18n and l10n features in JDK 1.3 are good, but not good for us.
      I have checked some files in JDK 1.3, all the properties are ended with
      zh.properties. That may be good for the hundred million of people in mainland,
      but definitely not for people living in Taiwan(or Taiwanese Java users).

      I compiled a program, the default error message is simplify chinese,
      we couldn't read it. I executed my Java program, the message in FileChoser
      is also simplify chinese, we couldn't read it.

      Finally, I have to delete all zh.properties so I can read the English messages.
      Now it works, but very inconvenient.

      If possible, please add the zh_TW.properties in the next version.
      Thany you very much.
