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 display messages.

Usage

Some menus that pop up are translated automatically, but 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.
