-We are going to model our I18N/L10N off of MediaWiki's system. Their's is
-obviously quite complicated, so we're going to simplify it a bit for our needs.
-
-== Caching ==
-
-MediaWiki has lots of caching mechanisms built in, which make the code somewhat
-more difficult to understand. Before doing any loading, MediaWiki will check
-the following places to see if we can be lazy:
-
-1. $mLocalisationCache[$code] - just a variable where it may have been stashed
-2. serialized/$code.ser - compiled serialized language file
-3. Memcached version of file (with expiration checking)
-
-Expiration checking consists of by ensuring all dependencies have filemtime
-that match the ones bundled with the cached copy. Similar checking could be
-implemented for serialized versions, as it seems that they are not updated
-until manually recompiled.
-
-== Behavior ==
-
-Things that are localizable:
-
-- Weekdays (and abbrev)
-- Months (and abbrev)
-- Bookstores
-- Skin names
-- Date preferences / Custom date format
-- Default date format
-- Default user option overrides
--+ Language names
-- Timezones
--+ Character encoding conversion via iconv
-- UpperLowerCase first (needs casemaps for some)
-- UpperLowerCase
-- Uppercase words
-- Uppercase word breaks
-- Case folding
-- Strip punctuation for MySQL search
-- Get first character
--+ Alternate encoding
--+ Recoding for edit (and then recode input)
--+ RTL
--+ Direction mark character depending on RTL
--? Arrow depending on RTL
-- Languages where italics cannot be used
--+ Number formatting (commafy, transform digits, transform separators)
-- Truncate (multibyte)
-- Grammar conversions for inflected languages
-- Plural transformations
-- Formatting expiry times
-- Segmenting for diffs (Chinese)
-- Convert to variants of language
-- Language specific user preference options
-- Link trails [[foo]]bar
--+ Language code (RFC 3066)
-
-Neat functionality:
-
-- I18N sprintfDate
-- Roman numeral formatting
-
-Items marked with a + likely need to be addressed by HTML Purifier
