Another quick tip regarding localization is that the framework offers
some helpful APIs and strings that are already translated into several
languages.  Two particularly useful strings are android.R.string.ok
and android.R.string.cancel for dialogs, in addition to all sorts of
day-of-week and month names:

Also, check out DateUtils, which can really help out with correctly
formatting date/time stamps:
