We have to be flexible, and not thinking that a user have to have selected those variables, or that if is using a system different from *Unix we could have to copy those *LC files. As I said this is very dirty, and in addition those *LC files have been created thinking into a operating system and not into a framework that is USING A DATA BASE, so why don't use that data base for create a full localization with all advantages of database? > This proposal is for *core* L10N functionality (just like I18N) - so > let's add number and date/time formatting for start (any other > ideas?) and build other I18N and L10N functionality on top of that. > > Also, for date/time django already does a great job.

With all those data there are many possibilities in order to make the easiest life to the administrators and the own users. You can load those those data of easily way using: http://satchmo.python-hosting.com/file/trunk/satchmo/load_localization.py but you need these directories whith its files: http://satchmo.python-hosting.com/browser/trunk/satchmo/localization/ http://satchmo.python-hosting.com/browser/trunk/satchmo/data/ I think that in 2 weeks more I'll have almost finished the full localization with phones, currencies, date-time formats, postal codes, and address format I'll speak with some of main Django developers when is finished the next table that is phone. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django I18N" group.
