public Locale (String language, String country)

Construct a locale from language and country. This constructor normalizes the language value to lowercase and the country value to uppercase.

Note:

• ISO 639 is not a stable standard; some of the language codes it defines (specifically "iw", "ji", and "in") have changed. This constructor accepts both the old codes ("iw", "ji", and "in") and the new codes ("he", "yi", and "id"), but all other API on Locale will return only the OLD codes.
• For backward compatibility reasons, this constructor does not make any syntactic checks on the input.

Parameters:

language		An ISO 639 alpha-2 or alpha-3 language code, or a language subtag up to 8 characters in length. See the Locale class description about valid language values.
country		An ISO 3166 alpha-2 country code or a UN M.49 numeric-3 area code. See the Locale class description about valid country values.

Exceptions:

NullPointerException

thrown if either argument is null.
