   Western numbers work just as well in Chinese as the native
ones using characters do, especially for math and finance.  Maybe
JavaSoft just decided to go with 1, 2, 3 instead of yi1, er4, san1

  Here's some Java code that will do the conversion.  May still need
some debugging but works.

I know, but in countries it may not (the Chinese was just an example)

Thanks, but I need an more general way to do this, because our product
is ship to many diffrent countries.

In that case you have to provide a custom-made instance of DecimalFormatSymbols
to a DecimalFormat instance.

But that does not change the actual number, only the signs "around" the
number, like minus, etc. I need something to change "1" into "-" (The
sign look like the Chinse sign for "one")
