Localize the app

[ccmitchellusa]

Show how this app can be run in different regions with appropriate BIDI and localization behavior. Show how dynamically loaded views can have their associated localized strings loaded dynamically as well.

on Remind Me view, date is currently displayed in YYYY-MM-DD format. Use full readable date/time format from cldr:
ex. in US english 12hr am/pm format with day of week:

Tuesday, May 8, 2012 2:00 PM

We might want to wait for dojox/app to better support globalization before doing this. Otherwise we will be showcasing something we don't fully support yet. But still we can add the localized date waiting for full internationalization.

[ccmitchellusa]

is there a ticket open for dojox/app to support globalization? What are the remaining issues?

[cjolif]

There is no support for localization at all. So:

1/ string in the config file can't be localized
2/ there is no facility to help localizing views (like providing a nls package for a view)

There is no ticket as of today but it is listed in the current thinking about next release.

dojox/app now has globalization support, we must leverage it.
