Description

The toLocale() method is unable to handle locale strings that have custom extensions that are completely valid according to the BCP47 spec. Oracle documentation for sub tag extensions can be found here.

An example locale string with a custom extension might be fr-CA-x-nb.

This issue seems to have been introduced with ticket LANG-915.
