<i18n dev> [8] Request for review: 8029239: jdk8 l10n resource file translation update - localenames

[Michael Fang]

I have updated the webrev 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mfang/8029239/webrev.jdk.01/

2 failed regression tests have been addressed:

----------System.out:(7/192)*----------
Mismatch in LocaleNames/pt/wa:
   file = "val\\\\u00e3o"
    jvm = "val\\u00e3o"
Mismatch in LocaleNames/pt/FM:
   file = "Micron\\\\u00e9sia"
    jvm = "Micron\\u00e9sia"
Test failed.  2 errors.


thanks,

-michael
