Property Editors. Page developers use this component to provide specialized user interfaces for editing internationalization-specific portlet preferences on the Portlet Properties page. This component is a collection of custom editors that other portlets can reuse.

Legacy Property Editor	Description
Country/Region ID Chooser	Provides a drop-down list from which an end user can select a country or region (for example, "Argentina" or "Antarctica").
Locale Chooser	Provides a drop-down list from which an end user can select a locale (for example, "es-AR Spanish (Argentina)" or "en-US English (United States)").
Time Zone Chooser	Provides a drop-down list from which an end user can select a time zone (for example, "America/Argentina/Buenos Aries (Argentine Time)" or "America/Chicago (Central Standard Time)").

Page developers configure this component to add a drop-down list for one of the internationalization properties. For example, to provide an editor for the Country/Region ID, the page developer configures the component to use the type Country/Region ID Chooser. As a result, the view will contain a drop-down list that contains values a user can select for the Country/Region ID property.
