[Moodle-lang] Locale now built into languages

[Martin D. <ma...@do...>]

Hi,

OK, I've implemented a scheme to allow the language packs
to set the locale.  As a result, when the user changes
their language then all the dates, numbers etc will change
to suit the language.

This new code will be in the next release (I'm now
calling it 1.0.7) .. It's only a few lines in lib/setup.php

I've set default locale codes for all current
language packs as a string called 'locale' in moodle.php:

ar/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "ar";
ca/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "ca_ES";
de/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "de_DE";
en/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "en_GB";
en_us/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "en_US";
es_es/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "es_ES";
es_mx/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "es_MX";
fi/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "fi_FI";
fr/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "fr_FR";
id/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "id_ID";
it/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "it_IT";
ja/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "ja_JP";
no/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "no_NO";
pt_br/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "pt_BR";
zh_cn/moodle.php:$string['locale'] = "zh_CN";

(So be aware of the changed file if you're using CVS)

These are fairly generic codes that should work on most
Unix, Linux and Windows machines, most of the time.

The admin can still set the locale code for the main
site language if they want to (or they have a funny
machine that uses different locale codes).  If the user
language is the same as the site language, then this
admin locale will be used for the user (ie it OVERRIDES
the language-pack locale).   Since 99% of installations
are single-language this should work quite well for any server.

Leaving the admin locale blank will make Moodle choose
the locale from the current site language file.

Please test the new setup and let me know if there's
any problems with this scheme.

Cheers,
Martin
