  <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Locale.html?is-external=true#ROOT" title="class or interface in java.util" class="externalLink"><code>Locale.ROOT</code></a> can be given to this method for requesting a "unlocalized" string,
  typically some programmatic values like enumerations or identifiers. While identifiers
  often look like English words, <code>Locale.ROOT</code> is not considered synonymous to
  <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Locale.html?is-external=true#ENGLISH" title="class or interface in java.util" class="externalLink"><code>Locale.ENGLISH</code></a> because the values may differ in the way numbers and dates are
  formatted (e.g. using the ISO 8601 standard for dates instead than English conventions).

  <div class="section">Handling of <code>null</code> argument value</div>
  The <code>Locale.ROOT</code> constant is new in Java 6. Some other libraries designed for Java 5
  use the <code>null</code> value for "unlocalized" strings. Apache SIS accepts <code>null</code> value
  for inter-operability with those libraries. However the behavior is implementation dependent:
  some subclasses will take <code>null</code> as a synonymous of the system default locale, while
  other subclasses will take <code>null</code> as a synonymous of the root locale. In order to
  ensure determinist behavior, client code are encouraged to specify only non-null values.</div>
