XML Publisher Bursting using different locale settings

Question

Hi,
I have a report that shows numeric fields in different format mask if I select different template each time while submitting request. One template file's language is English and its territory is United States. Other template file's language is German and its territory is Germany. English template shows number like 1,500.94 ( "," comma as digit grouping symbol and "." period as decimal symbol) which is fine. German template shows 1.500,94 ( "." period as digit grouping symbol and "," comma as decimal symbol). So everything is great for me until I am using XML Bursting. Even if I specified german templates in bursting control file the output pdf file shows numeric character like English template. (e.g  1,500.94).
Example of bursting control file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi" type="bursting">
<xapi:request select="/">
<xapi:delivery>
<xapi:filesystem id="file1" output="${DEST_PATH}.pdf"/>
</xapi:delivery>
<xapi:document output-type="pdf" delivery="file1">
<xapi:template type="rtf" location="xdo://XXCO.XXCO_INVOICE.de.DE/?getSource=true" filter="" >    --->  It gives same output  with en.US
</xapi:template>
</xapi:document>
</xapi:request>
</xapi:requestset>
Has anyone got any idea what is going on when bursting take care of generating PDF file again after the report is completed ?  Could you please help on this issue ? I will be grateful if I solve this problem. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ugur

Hi,
I have solved this issue by using <?xdoxslt:xdo-format-number, '999G990D00', 'da-DK')?> in every number fields instead of using different template file with danish language. Bursting also correctly shows number I wanted to be after this changes. So don't bother using different template file in order to show different digit grouping and decimal symbol. It's very simple this way except page total and carried forward totals. I choose number-separators=',.' option in xdofo:show-carry-forward tags.
