Hi, I am proposing to change KLocale to support the ISO 4217 Currency Code standard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217).
The existing currency support is based on a free-text currency symbol field. This leaves applications such as KSpread, KMyMoney, Skrooge, Kraft, KEuroCalc, and various Plasma widgets to provide their own implementation of the ISO codes and translations of the names, leading to unnecessary duplication and inconsistency. This is an initial proposal aimed at improving the l10n and i18n issues, so comment is particularly sought from the translation teams on a number of issues, especially given how much work may be involved for them. I am also seeking comment from the various financial applications to ensure the initial implementation is flexible enough to meet their needs both now and in the future. Details of the Design and Outstanding Issues are at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/kdelibs/localisation#ISO_4217_Currency_Code_Support and the initial code can be found on the Review Board at http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/2049 . Thanks! John. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
