Emne: KLocale related changes in 4.7 Dato: Måndag 9. mai 2011 Frå: John Layt john@layt.net Til: kde-i18n-doc@kde.org
Hi guys,
I'm sure you've noticed already, but I've added a few new features to KLocale and the Locale KCM that I thought I'd explain.
1) Narrow Names: I've added support for Narrow month and day name formats, i.e. M for Monday, J for January, etc. These are mostly used for display in small form-factor gui's such as calendar widgets and unlike the longer form names the narrow strings do not need to be unique as they are not used in reading dates.
2) Week Number System: I've added support for different week number calculations, primarily those used in the USA. I hope the help text in the KCM makes sense, ping me if they don't. Also let me know if your country has a week number system not yet supported.
3) Digit Grouping This allows different formats for number groups such as Indian format 12,34,56,789.00. Again let me know if the help text isn't clear, or if your country has a format not yet supported. I haven't changed the locale file default value for India as KLocale::readNumber() is strict in applying the grouping (existing behaviour) so users would suddenly find their number entry failing and not know why.
I also did a small clean-up of the KCalendarSystem translation contexts to be consistantly formatted, hope that didn't cause too much work unfuzzying them.
Cheers!
John.
