Globalization Plugin
The globalization plugin was contributed by IBM about a year ago and
posted on phonegap-plugins repo. Since then, we have gotten numerous
requests for it to become part of core Cordova. It addresses many of
the globalization issues that are encountered by our worldwide
community, that we often overlook or forget about being in the
US/Canada. If there are no objections, I'd like to migrate for 2.2.0.
Thanks,
Bryce

Hi Simon,
It seems you covered everything, great job!
Next time I'll try to be faster, sorry but I'm still on some legacy
projects an sometime I'm just overloaded.

Hey Giorgio,
I had to port the tests myself last night. I'm going to checkin the JS
and Android code today so I needed working tests so I could have
confidence that everything is okay. Please take a look at:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cordova-mobile-spec.git;a=commit;h=45a192ac030faf93a133d25a4e343cd660f36fef
and add more test cases or tweak what is already there. You can also
take a look at the iOS and BB tests to make sure that everything has
been captured in my test suite.

Hi Giorgio,
Thanks a bunch for volunteering to look at porting the QUnit tests to
Jasmine!
Android:
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/blob/master/Android/Globalization/globalization.tests.js
BlackBerry:
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/blob/master/BlackBerry/Globalization/globalization.tests.js
iOS:
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/blob/master/iOS/Globalization/globalization.tests.js
In the end, we should have one set of JavaScript tests that is run against
all three platforms (ala cordova-js and mobile-spec).

Hi All,
Where are the Qunit tests? I would like to take a look and check if it's
possible accordingly to my schedule raise my hand to be a volunteer for
the porting to jasmine.

That will get us there partially (xml:lang), we still need the
Globalization functions to determine currency, format and parse
numbers, dates etc. according to the user's locale.

Want to point out that config.xml has a basic localization approach via
xml:lang attribute. You can then point to specific content (such as
starting pages) based on language.

Pretty intense. But I suppose thats what we'd gun for. Cordova Core
are polyfills.

I don't think there really is much standardish, other than the current
language being set in navigator.language and local date formats being
output by Date.
For our usage in Wikipedia's apps, just getting the current language code
is all we use Globalization for -- navigator.language is hardcoded to
English on Android, making it unusable.
A more limited plugin that only fetches the locale language (and perhaps
overrides navigator.language?) would do what we need and might not add much
burden on other platforms, especially if they already implement
navigator.language correctly. The other stuff is gravy if it's available
though!

Re: Globalization Plugin
Posted by Michael Brooks <mi...@michaelbrooks.ca>.
TLDR; I'd like to see the Globalization plugin added to Apache Cordova.
It's popular, useful, and battle tested. However, it's not fair to weigh
down all of the unsupported platforms without their buy-in. It also needs
to have the test suite re-written with Jasmine.
When Apache Cordova adopts a plugin, there are a few points that we should
consider:
1. Follows a W3C standard... when there is a standard.
I've done a brief scan, but can't find any W3C standards around
globalization / localization. Has anyone else found anything?
2. Supports all of our platforms.
Adopting a plugin is an additional maintenance cost for each platform. By
officially adopting a plugin, we're making a promise that the plugin will
work on all of our platforms.
At the moment, the Globalization plugin appears to support Android. iOS,
and BlackBerry (Java). This means we're dumping a load of work on platform
leads to add support for BlackBerry (Air), Bada, webOS, and WP7.
3. Has tests written with Jasmine.
Every plugin needs to have tests written in our standard test runner -
Jasmine. It's awesome that the Globalization plugin has tests written, but
they are currently in QUnit. Someone will need to convert these to Jasmine.
