Languages (locale)

Country-specific app internationalisation.

This is not an app, but instead it is a library that can be used by other applications or widgets to provide locale-friendly

Dates
Time (12h/24h)
Days of the Week
Months
Distances/Lengths/Speed (metric/imperial)
Temperature (°C/°F)

Usage

If you're writing an application you can use the locale library to do all the translation for you.

See https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js+Locale for full examples.

// Date to date string (long)
>require("locale").date(new Date())
="Donnerstag, 02. April 2020"

// Date to date string (short)
>require("locale").date(new Date(), 1)
="02.04.2020"

Bangle.js has a locale library built in that is just a standard British English (en_GB) localisation - so you can use locale in your apps without requiring users to have this Language library installed.
