In a recent post about displaying a longlistselector in wp7 I eluded to code that would need to be correctly localised. Whilst I haven’t had the time to produce the code, I thought this may prove useful in the meantime (Note: the cultures are from wp8 and may change in future releases);
(Edit) – made it a bit easier to consume, shows phonetic support and corrected issue with the a poor cut that chopped the last character

In Windows Phone 8, the best solution is to use SortedLocaleGrouping (not supported inWP7): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/microsoft.phone.globalization.sortedlocalegrouping(v=vs.105).aspx
See the sample on MSDN for usage: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/PeopleHub-Windows-Phone-80-88abe94d
Yes, the posts were about achieving the same thing in Wp7 🙂
Can you explain the structure of the strings? What are the three dots for?
Thanks to your LongListSelector post and the one on CIs, I now have an app almost ready for publication.
The dots are placeholders for ‘any other character’. Typically you will want to replace them with the globe symbol. You can see that in the codeplex sample
So, there is no specific reason not to use the globe in the original string. Again, thanks for your assist.
The post is also about how it works in wp8, so if you want keep the same client code you would go the dot way, but otherwise sure. Having said that i suddenly have a doubt about the Unicode so buyer beware
