He is unfortunately using term "internationalization" for "localization". This library only lets you handle resource loading - i.e. translated messages.
Our library deals with proper formatting and sorting (and possibly many more in the future). The actual sorting (collation) is the hard part where no native JavaScript implementation exists and with a good reason - data size and algorithm complexity would be hard to overcome. I don't feel we are rushing anything, it's been 1.5 yrs since we started, but this is my first standard so I may be too optimistic :). 23. јануар 2012. 13.26, Brendan Eich <[email protected]> је написао/ла: > Just saw this tweeted: > > http://slexaxton.github.com/**Jed/ <http://slexaxton.github.com/Jed/> > > Wondered if anyone has any reactions.
