i18n standard - next steps

# Nebojša Ćirić (14 years ago)

these are steps that need to happen if we were to meet deadline for Ecma General Assembly in December:

  1. First draft of the document has to be ready for TC39 review 3 weeks before September meeting (Sept 28th).
  2. Final draft if approved, will be published 2 months before the General Assembly meeting - publish date is October.

There are some unresolved issues left from our last July 26th meeting that we need to resolve in August in order to meet the deadlines. I propose a teleconference (I will book local room too for people that want to show up in person) mid August.

List of issues:

  1. Collation was not reviewed.
  2. Extended date/time skeletons proposed by Erik (Microsoft)
  3. Skeleton for NumberFormat proposed by Nebojsa (Google)
  4. Global namespace name - we used globalization, but we should try shortening it.
  5. UTC timezone addition to DateTime format (and local timezone)
  6. Name for options property - suggested resolvedSettings?

Things we decided on:

  1. Remove LocaleInfo class.
  2. Add global object that acts as a namespace for DateTimeFormat, NumberFormat and Collator classes -- and future extensions to the standard.
  3. Remove regionID property since we pass currencyCode directly.
  4. Each service accepts localeID property (empty, string, array of strings) and does validation/resolution based on supported locales for a service.
  5. Options property holds resolved values that user asked for (numberSystem: thai if -u-nu-thai was specified).
  6. For currency formatting, user has to specify ISO currency code - throw exception if it's missing.
  7. Rounding mode for number formatting was defined as round half up (away from 0).
  8. Error handling was defined better - exceptions for invalid parameters

An update from the main TC39 meeting:

We will aim for frozen spec in September, do a round of implementation and go for General Assembly in June.
