Future Plans

This is just my to-do list. If you have any needs/ideas/criticisms, let me know!

java/xx/index.html - split time zones to separate page

java/xx/currency.html

compare/currency.html

Links page to pull from pinboard.in

Date order: ICU, Java

Time zones: ICU

Remove most calls to LocaleNormalizer.

Credits:

• Icon and link to http://code.google.com/p/json-simple/
• separate page for translation: GNU GetText, polib, Google Translate (and hopefully human contributors)

Change language: guess country for each language. Advanced option that lets you enter a locale

Add daggars to all locale IDs that have been normalized (expect underline to dash). Encapsulate dagger html.

Java: normalize! iw to he, in to id, note in normalize.html

Java: fill in details

API:

• getDateFormat() with no param to return most common form
• NOCURRENTYEAR option for date formats
• currency.json
• drf.js - date range formatting (drop duplicate month/year)
• dtf.js - date+time formatting
• tf.js - time formatting
• timepat.json - time patterns
• langlist.json (array with multiple descriptions: browser, native, specific)
• units of measurement
• ordinal numbers - both numeric (1st), text (first) and mixed (first if short, else 101st)
• spelled numbers
• formatted strings: MessageFormat (closure version)
• Date classes (see JSR 310)

API: minimized versions of js files (on the fly Google Closure compiler?)

API: GWT library that wraps API

API: default country parameter

API: ICU lists in normalized and raw versions

API: should auto redirect instead of forward? Slower on initial hit, but will the 2nd hit stay cached???

API: ability to add an "edit" button/link/etc if there isn't a translation

Data sources: resolve different codes for Tagalog (icu=fil, google=tl)

i18n: more language translations when supported by Google Translate: Bengali (bn), Punjabi (pa), Teluga (te), Marathi (mr), Tamil (ta).

i18n: how do I display languages w/translations but no Java locale: Afrikaans (af), Persian (fa), Welsh (cy), Filipino (tl)? Maybe switch to ULocale?

i18n: use API to display language choices in the UI header

i18n: po2xx to make testing text.

i18n: gtrans is screwing up fancy quotes, MessageFormat stuff.

i18n: use gtrans for full-page translation: support/index.html, support/api.html

i18n: gt4po.py: if text has <> then pass html flag

i18n: gt4po.py: creating duplicate fuzzy labels

Website: Add Vary: accept-language header

Website: Infinite caching headers for non-auto API pages

Support: Collection of related links

Support: note about translations (and ask for volunteers)

gt4po.py

• problems with html-escaped single quotes
• problems with smart quotes
• problems with {n} format parameters

Separate python website for online .po utilities

• convert po to properties
• convert properties to po
• convert po to test
• convert plain text to test
• convert html text to test

Utility scripts:

• lpmirror.py

More data sources:

• CLDR
• SIL
• Linux
• IANA
• Mozilla
• POSIX

Compare: non-ISO languages/countries

Fill in the .NET data (including LCID)

Version info for .NET

Slurp data for day names, month names for Google Translate

Software: list locales supported by various software packages

• Microsoft Windows
• Microsoft Office
• OpenOffice
• Ubuntu
