Description

Language specifications in capabilities are compared frequently in the operation of the UIMA Framework. In some places, the language strings are "normalized" by coverting to lower case and replacing '_' with '-'. In other places this isn't done. This should be done uniformly, when the language specification is initially parsed, for performance reasons. A suggested normalization would be something like
language.toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH).replace('_','-')
