Re: [Tsheetx-developers] language and jclasses discussion

[Isabelle V. <ver...@fr...>]

Hello, 

For internationalization of dates, I don't think that routines are necessary 
as the language files like"/language/en-GB/en -GB.ini" allow to specify 
the values of the months, of the days of the week and of the date formats 
(eg DATE_FORMAT_LC). 

In France, we often also use the week number for our schedules. I added 
this number on relevant pages in "my timesheet 1.5.2". As the parameter 
"%V" of the strftime function didn't work on my computer, I used the function 
"week_isonumber" posted by Anonymous 12-Oct-2010 07:04 here: 
http://php.net/manual/fr/function.strftime.php 

For the time format in French, just replace the occurrences of colon as 
in this example: 
- English: 10:30:56 
- French: 10h 30m 56s 

As I said earlier, to have the correct dates in French, you must specify 
the language 'fra' for the locale: setlocale(LC_ALL,'fr_FR','fra'); 

For numbers in French, the decimal separator is a comma instead of the 
point. This is important for excel export. 

For billing and currency: 
The euro is the official currency of the Eurozone in the European Union. 
The html entity for the euro sign is € 

For the translation of the different status for projects and for tasks 
as well as of the different types of users, would it be possible to add 
the values in the language files if it's allow to not modify "enum" in 
the database? 

Do you want me to contribute at this stage to the project by making an 
fr-FR.ini file for translation of the current en-GB.ini file in 
" /branches/txsheet-2.0-demo/"? 
If yes, how to join the project? 

I was also thinking about that: on the configuration page of the future 
Timesheet 2.0, would it be possible to define the following data 
depending on each country: 
- dates of the days being public holidays 
- the legal duration of work per day and/or per week 
- the legal number of days for holidays per year 

Sincerely. 

Isabelle.

Objet: language and jclasses discussion 

Hi all, 

I've checked in a few more changes, mainly focused on further trimming down of un-needed stuff from the various classes, and the removal of un-needed classes. 

I'm still waiting for a discussion on whether we want to continue using J* class names (JLanguage, JText, JFile, JFolder, etc) or if we want to use something different, and if so, what. 

Also still waiting to hear about how the error classes work, and how to replace the commented out error stuff in the jclasses with error stuff that will actually work for us. 

I'm beginning to think about how to go about integrating the JLanguage stuff into our existing classes. Should the JLanguage stuff be part of the master site class? I'm currently thinking it should. 

Isabelle, I think it will be useful to have language specific routines that deal with how to correctly format times, dates, and numbers in general. Can you point us in the right direction as to how to go about doing this?
