Well, just for the fun of it, I started on an fplocale.pp unit. But since I only have linux and windows available (and windows is already localized by means of sysutils) it applies omly to linux now. It is not complet yet for at least following reasons: - I don't know if the location of (text versions) is always /usr/share/i18n/locales/ - EscapeChar not implemented yet (just using '/' as default) If not I need possible other locations to search (I'm not gonna search the whole /usr/* tree to find it, this will slow down things considerably) For now it parses all that clocale unit does (LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC), and on my system has same results, but we can add parsing other LC_xxx categories, the template is there. > But has an unneeded size penalty So far approx. 220 kb size penalty. To extend it's use I need input/help from users with other systems that provide locale specific settings: - FreeBSD - MacOS classic - MacOS X - others?
