I18n in Ext4

[Animal]

Ext4 will have localizable settings for the following defaults (which are in Ext.util.Format)

thousandSeparator: ',',
decimalSeparator: '.',
currencyPrecision: 2,
currencySign: '$'

Can someone post some info on what they should be in other locales? I know about the Euro zone, but there are a lot of other local files who's currency and conventions I do not know.

The idea being that I18n for number formatting and currency amount formatting should be completely seamless in Ext4.

Thanks.

I have made a "best effort" set of localization changes for all locale files which exist in the Ext4 source.

All EU countries which use the Euro have the Euro sign. Others, I found from here: http://www.xe.com/symbols.php

Re the thousand separator and decimal separator, I assumed that mainland European countries use "." to separate thousands and "," as the decimal point.

Beta testers will have to report if their locale file has an incorrect assumption which may well be the case!

So to format a currency amount in the local currency (from the included locale file), just use

Ext.util.Format.currency(totalCost);

Or, to use a known currency:

Ext.util.Format.currency(totalCost, '$', 2); // Use the dollar sign, format with two decimals.

Likewise, date formatting should default to local conventions. The Ext.util.Format.date function, and the default Column renderer provided by Ext.util.Format.dateRenderer will output a date formatted according to the default in the locale file.

Being able to choose currency position (prefix or suffix) would be nice.

[Animal]

That's in.

The default is

Ext.util.Format.currencyAtEnd: false

Which means currency sign (or currency string for some, like 'kr') is prefixed.

If you want it at the end, that will be set to true.

All locales leave the default unchanged now.

What locales require the currency string at the end?

[mdmitry]

What locales require the currency string at the end?

In Russia, Lithuania and probably most other ex-USSR countries currency is put after the number. It's not a requirement, just nobody ever writes it as a prefix. IMO there should be possibility to change it at the currency level, not just as a global setting.

[Animal]

Yes, the Ext.util.Format.currency method looks like

        currency: function(v, currencySign, decimals, end) {

So you'd use

Ext.util.Format.currency(123.45, "R", 2, true);

To output it at the end.

Actually, should I default it to putting the symbol at the end for the ru locale?

Hi,

Perhaps the Common Locale Data Repository is useful for localization efforts of Ext4.

Yep, that would be great.
