i17n date formating

Hello,

I'd like to display an xs:date, contained in my instance, using a
certain locale -- French in my case.

So, inspired by the doc/example, I have something like :

<xforms:output ref="tfi:DébutValidité"
xxforms:format="format-date(xs:date(.), '[D] [Mn] [Y]', 'fr', (),
())"/>

which is strangely displayed as :

[Language: en]29 august 2005

for an xs:date = "2005-08-09", whereas it should be :

29 août 2005

Strange isn't it ? The XForms Controls example of my very recent build
also displays incorrectly:

Date (in French):      [Language: en]Thursday, le 20 July 2006


By the way, would it be possible to choose the locale according to the
browser preferences ? That's not something I *need* but that kind of
feature would be nice :)

Cheers,

Damiano,

I assume you must be using a fairly old build: more recent builds
support a version of Saxon which is able to format with 'en', 'fr', and
'de' at least. Formatting in French works, we tried it :-)

Currently you can't automatically choose the locale based on the
browser, but you could write code that does that within xxforms:format,
assuming you have stored the currently language in an XForms instance.

By the way, it is usually a mistake to make a use language decision
based on browser / operating system / IP address: the user may be in an
internet cafe, be in Japan but speak English or Italian, etc.

It is much better to let the user choose his language. The latest DMV
Forms example (in CVS / nightly builds) BTW illustrates a very nice
instant language switching capability (English and French for now).

I've just downloaded the latest nightly build from the forge... and
the date localization issue is still there, including in the "XForms
Controls" example.

What have I /again/ done wrong ? :)

Again, I've downloaded OPS nightly build of today (24 July), put it in
"/webapps" as-is, but I don't get the same result as you in the
Controls example...

My software setup is :
 * Sun's Java 1.5 on Ubuntu 6.06 with en-US locale
 * Apache Tomcat 5.5.15
 * Firefox 1.5

I really don't understand ! :-)

Damiano,

I can see the same thing. I created a bug to track this:

Now that we are in August (Août in French), there seems to be an
encoding issue as the "û" character is incorrectly 'rendered' and
appears as �� (U+FFFD) here in Firefox.
