[Mono-dev] Invariant Culture question

[Rafael Teixeira]

Hi Cory, I think you have to study things a bit more.

The Invariant Culture is an ECMA CLI (.NET) concept. Mono just has to
implement it to be compatible. It surely isn't Linux specific.

The main thing is: It is not about not knowing what the local culture
is, it is about specifically wanting not to be affected by it. The
Invariant Culture is specially built to be, let me say it again,
invariant, therefore giving predictable results that can be exchanged
between contexts/processes/computers, which may be running under
different cultures.

Regards,
