CHAPTER 20

Localizing Newton Applications

Using the Localization Features of the Newton 20-13

// get the current time

theTime:= Time();

// pass the time and the format to LongDateStr

LongDateStr(theTime,kmyDateSpec);

This example is deliberately verbose for purposes of illustrating how to build a

format speciﬁcation array.

The kIncludeAllElements Constant 20

If you want to use the default format for time or date strings as speciﬁed by the

active locale bundle, you can pass the

kIncludeAllElements constant to the

functions

LongDateStr, ShortDateStr, and TimeStr. You’ll get the results

summarized inTable 20-1.

Currency Values 20

Currency strings reﬂect localized formatting characteristics that distinguish them

from other number strings. They

■ typically display a preﬁx or sufﬁx indicating their denomination

■ may require an additional preﬁx and/or sufﬁx that indicates whether the amount

is negative.

Currency strings must also adhere to regional conventions for

■ grouping numbers

■ the delimiter that indicates these groupings

■ the character that represents the decimal point

These values are stored in a frame in the active locale bundle’s numberFormat slot.

For example, the

currencyPrefix slot stores the value "$" for the U.S. locale

and

"£" for the United Kingdom locale, while in the French Canadian locale, the

currencyPrefix slot has no value and the currencySuffix slot stores the

value

"$".
