Hi folks,
NSCalendarDate has descriptionWithCalendarFormat:locale: which needs a
locale.
Imagine I have a web application that needs a German (DE) locale for
some sessions, for some a DE-AT
(January is 'Jänner' in Austrian not 'Januar' like German) and for
some EN to name a few.
It does not matter what the locale of the current user process is.
Is there something like
// name is 'DE' or 'FR' or 'DE-AT'...
+ (NSDictionary*) localeWithName:(NSSting*) shortName
This should contain all data to create a localized NSCalendarDate.
There really isn't something like this, but it might be nice to pull out
that functionality from NSUserDefaults (+standardUserDefaults). The
only problem is, that for locales that aren't in the customized set that
is delivered with gnustep-base, you would have to temporarily set the
new locale, read the information from the i18n functions, then set the
locale back.
