Well, I really don't now, which approach is the best.
Both of them has advantages and disadvantages.

Personally I prefer borrowing these things from host system, because this way the user can tweak the language specific things using the host's standard config tools (e.g. Control Panel). And using this approach you, as a programmer, don't have to write a setup tool in the application.

But what if the host system doesn't support e.g. thousand separator? ==> use translation files?

So it would be good to know, if every platform, planned to support, has all the features, used in UPP.

Language specific sorting: using translation files would be a good idea. Using that, it would be very easy to start supporing a new language, I think.
