- Developing in a way that removes barriers to localization or international deployment
- Enabling code to support local, regional, language, or culturally related preferences
so...
WHat can we localize?
- Date/Time (obv!)
- Relative time (e.g. "in 1 day")
- Numbers (e.g. currency)
- Lists
- Plurals
using the intl api
const date = new Date('2011-12-31');
const number = 20000.75;
console.log(
new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US').format(date),
new Intl.NumberFormat('de-DE').format(number)
);
// output: 12/30/2011 20.000,75
console.log(
date.toLocaleString('en-US')
number.toLocaleString('de-DE')
);
// same result as above
