        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
        java version "1.5.0_14"
        Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_14-b03)

        ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        Locale#getDisplayCountry() and Locale#getDisplayLanguage() with Finnish locale fi_FI returns incorrect names. In Finnish the country France is called "Ranska", not "Franska", and the language French is called "ranska" not "franska".

        See:
        http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranska
        http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranskan_kieli

        Note: the error only affects the Finnish locale fi_FI, the existing names for the Finnish-Swedish locale sv_FI are correkt.
