 === Specific goals of the semester project ===
-''to be completed''
+The new i18n library should provide translation as well as date, time, value and currency formatting.
-=Milestones=
+=Status=
-''add milestones of semesterproject''
+As of 16 October 2006 we have all features working and almost all tested.
+Some difficulty exists with the windows installation procedure. The linux version works without problems.
-==Mx: ??? ==
-* Write a summary of how [[Internationalization/posix_locale|POSIX locale]] information is stored
-* Write a summary of how [[Internationalization/nls_locale|NLS (Windows) locale]] infomation is stored
-* Write a summary of how [[Internationalization/dotnet_locale|.NET locale]] information is stored
-* Write a small summary of date and time classes in EiffelBase
-* Examine the .ts file format, notably plural form handling
-* Examine the .xliff file format, notably plural form handling (we did some of this already)
-* Enter classes & features into EiffelStudio so we have a starting point and a BON diagram
-* Sit down and think about the current class names. Some of them need improving.
-−
-==M5: July ?? ==
-* Refactoring of whole library
-* Use our library for EiffelStudio
-* Clean up Wiki and improve Developer manual
-* Add support for other aspects of localisation - dates, number format etc. ''(possibly we can defer this a bit)''
-** Compile a [[Internationalization/l10n_features | list of basic features]] to provide (e.g. date/time format, system locale) ''(deferred from M3)''
