If looking after internationalizing dates

[Ph Vouters]

Dear Linux user,

If you are looking after internationalizing dates, here is a paper which can interest you:

http://vouters.dyndns.org/tima/Linux-Calendars-Internationalizing_dates.html

It presents the current daytime in four different format:

1/ RFC822

2/ IMAP

3/ JALAALI (in use in Iran)

4/ HIJRI (Islamic calendar)

The code is C based and use the LC_TIME locale.

In the hope this will interest some of you.

Kind regards,

Philippe

Since then the Japanese, official Indian, Chinese and Hebrew dates have been added. This is in case you need to internationalize a date according to local idiom, culture and traditions.

In the hope you will find interest with.

I am not sure. But if you wish to gain market shares, you'd better present your software in local idioms. On my side, I keep very sensitive to local culture and traditions. My Web site you can query at http://vouters.dyndns.org/ is full of various internationalization aspects.

In the hope this can help you gain market shares.

Yours tryuly,

Philippe
