Subject: [9fans] localization
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2011 17:59:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201104271759.08417.dexen.devries@gmail.com> (raw)
browsing through uriel's slides from fosdem 2006 [1], i see him mention Plan 9
lacks localization. what are this lists feelings on localization (both
translation of strings and formatting of numbers, time etc.) of user-facing
applications?
the only model i know right now is gettext() and related from GNU; there's
gotta be a better way; perhaps an fs for it? ;-)
