[Kimchi-devel] [Wok][RFC] Issue 104 Multi-culture support for formatting numbers and datetime

[Pooja Kulkarni]

Hi Team,

In order to provide multi-culture support, we must format the numbers 
and datetime data as per the user's locale. For example, when a french 
user selects the UI language as English, he/she must still see the 
numbers and datetime in french format.
The user's locale may be obtained in two ways:

1. Fetch the language setting of user's browser:
This approach involves fetching the language setting of user's browser 
either by using 'accept-language' header that is sent to the server or 
navigator.language

2. Have another drop down menu for user's locale:
This approach involves having two drop down menus, one for the 
translation language and another for the locale. The locale drop down 
menu can contain languages that may or may not be included in the 
translation language drop down menu. By default, the language selected 
in the translation drop down can be selected in the locale drop down as 
well.

However, the first approach is not reliable and may vary from one 
browser to another (some may not support navigator method). So I would 
prefer the second approach.

Any thoughts or comments?

Regards
Pooja
