Datatime and currency formats about universal-translator

[deankarn]

@gedw99 are you saying you need to parse text with datetime and money values within it? if so this package is really for building the text from the ground up rather than parsing and manipulating.

perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean though, do you have an example?

Hey @joeybloggs
You got it right. I need to do i18n but the translations include datetime and currency.
It must be something lots of people hit.
I COULD change thing so they no translated text every has a data time or currency in it.
then i just have to construct a sentence with bits of translated text and datetime and currency formatting at runtime.

thoughts ?

Parsing would be very difficult as you would also need to know the source text locale, I personally build the text in bits as you stated.

I have no plans to add that sort of functionality and I know I don't have the free time to. but if you wanted to build something on top of this or even a separate project that would be pretty awesome.

Ah thanks Joey, will follow what you did. Was curious if i was boiling the ocean too much :)
Closing this.
