Ada and locale

Ada and locale

[Maciej Sobczak]

I would like to know how I can benefit from the locale support in my
operating system.
By locale I mean the set of properties of the I/O system that allow to
customize formatting of numbers, collating, character classification
and such.

The F.3 section of AARM (Edited Output for Decimal Types) is the only
part where the word "locale" is used, but it is not what I'm looking
for.

ARM don't define any way for application localization. You must use
some external library.

GUI toolkits usually include such support. I don't known about Gtk,
but Qt have QLocale class for numeric formatting customization and
support characters and strings operations through QString and QChar
classes.

For example using the package GtkAda.Intl (which only covers basic
"gettext" stuff).
