en_CA locale
Hi,
I've just submitted an en_CA (ie english canadian) locale to the patches branch.
Thanks goes to Derek Rosien (derekrosien@gmail.com) who I met at 360Flex who double checked the properties files for me.
There are no changes form the en_US with the exception of zipcode been replaced with postcode.
The resource string for the social security validator is incorrect but as the class doesn't support Canadian social security numbers it's probably not a big issue.
Thanks,
Justin

As long as I can create a length validator hardcoded to feet :)

I've already submitted an en_AU locale. The en_NZ locale required no changes from the en_NZ locale I can duplicate it if you want.

Same issue in Australia but not having a Canadian or British English locale was worse I think.
We now have all 3 and I'm happy to help anyone who wants to add more locales.
Please review what I checked in just in case something "American" has slipped through.
Thanks,
Justin

THANK YOU!!!
I used to go crazy trying to explain to Adobe that English (North
American) was incorrect as the CA and US branches are somewhat different,
not just for the reasons you point below. Most Canadian developers I
talked to hated this with a passion. We use the same spelling as the
Brits. You just made about 33,000,000 new friends.
Note that we spell words differently too (Check vs Cheque, neighbour vs
neighbor). The languages are about 4% different. Canadian SIN and
American SIN's have about the same mask (or masque).
