We're currently writing a web application based on a threaded python web server framework (cherrypy) and would like to simultaneously support users from multiple locales. The locale module doesn't appear to be thread safe. Are there 3rd party libraries or modules that provide locale parsing and formatting functionality in a thread-safe ...

I've often standardized on YYYY-MM-DD as the date format for communicating within a geographically distributed project teams to dispel any ambiguity that might arise from local date formats. Is it likely that I might run into people who are used to seeing dates as YYYY-DD-MM? Are there programs that use this as a date format? ...

I would like to give user option to select text file locale. Is there some class in .net that keeps list of available locales? Now, I am planning to make my own list class from MSDN page: Language Identifier Constants and Strings, but it would be nicer if there is something already in .net. Here is MSDN article on CultureInfo.GetCu...
Hello! I'm running python 2.6 with latest IPython on Windows XP SP3, and I have two questions. First one of my problems is, when under IPython, I cannot input Unicode strings directly, and, as a result, cannot open files with non-latin names. Let me demonstrate. Under usual python this works: >>> sys.getdefaultencoding() 'ascii' >>> s...

My users can change the Locale within the app (they may want to keep their phone settings in English but read the content of my app in French, Dutch or any other language ...) Why is this working perfectly fine in 1.5/1.6 but NOT in 2.0 anymore ??? @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { switch(item.getItemI...
Django internationalization allows me to set a language code either in settings file (site-wide) or on per-user / per-session basis. How can I change language for a particular page? I wrote a middleware that sets request.LANGUAGE_CODE the way I want it to be translated, but nothing seems to use this attribute to do the selected transla...
I have written a utility library that contains some of my most used functions. There I have a wrapper for ResourceManager.getString to simplify using the resource manager in non-UI classes: package { import mx.resources.ResourceManager; /** * Convenience function to return a localized string * */ [Bindable("change...
Hello, I'm working on an international project and have observed that, in Java, the choice of the decimal separator is based on the Locale's language, not its country. For example: DecimalFormat currencyFormatter = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance(new Locale("it","IT")); System.out.println(currencyFormatter.format(-123456.78));...
I have a problem with a c# assembly (.net 2.0 written using Visual studio 2005) that is installed on a UK server and should use UK regional settings. What my code does is to convert a date in the form dd/MM/yyyy into utc. i.e. yyyy-mm-dd. The problem arose with dates like 16/02/2010 where the component failed to convert the date and ret...

I need to match on a date using the LIKE operator. The date should be in current user's local format, not in the general format. So I use the strftime function like this: WHERE strftime('%d.%m.%Y %H:%M', createdDate, 'localtime') LIKE '%{searchTerm}%' Unfortunately this works only for fixed format '%d.%m.%Y %H:%M'. But I want to use ...
I try to force the locale in my app to one the user specified. As this may be used to demonstrations, I want to change the language/locale in the app and not anytime for the whole device. I looked around SO and tried to use every hint I found here. The result: I can restart my test activity with the new language, but if I change the ori...
In Java Server Faces, we normally get the locale of the current request with the UIViewRoot.getLocale() method, which would normally return the locale set in the browser. In a layered application, how can I read the same locale in other layers, where there's no access to the JSF objects? It seems that Locale.getDefault() is not suitable,...
I know that database locales on Postgres are responsible for proper order of national characters, proper lower/upper-casing etc. But why there are two language-neutral locales: posix and c? Is there any difference between them or is it just one neutral locale with two different names? UPDATE As Magnus Hagander states in his answer, POS...
