I just started messing around with the as3localelib library in a project I’m working on which needs to be localized to several languages.  I found a few code samples around the web and both use the following two lines of code to implement the library:
var sortedLocales:Array = LocaleUtil.sortLanguagesByPreference(['en_US', 'zh_CN', 'zh_TW'], flash.system.Capabilities.languages, “en_US”);

Update 2: I should be able to fairly easily convert this to a simple Flex app.  I’ll do that when I get a chance and update this post with the link.  
Update: Ryan gave me the go ahead to post it.  Get the AIR app here.  I’ve enabled view source, so you should be able to [...]

I just tried to install Twhirl on my iMac running 10.5.3 and got this error: “The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author. Has anyone found a way to get around or fix this?
