FPSOT internationalization specification

Rules for showing text, dates and numbers in the language of each person in FPSOT products: language tags, locale negotiation and fallback, CLDR formatting, MessageFormat messages, translation files, text direction, and personal names and postal addresses. Every FPSOT product ships in Canadian English and Canadian French. Version 0.1 is a draft.

Implement this spec

Read the normative text in spec/en/ or spec/fr/. Start with index.adoc, then read the six parts. Each requirement has an ID from LOC-001 to LOC-055. Check your product against every MUST rule.

Adopt this spec

Read the guide in docs/modules/en/pages/index.adoc or docs/modules/fr/pages/index.adoc. It shows the main steps for a product in English and French. The comparison pages show how the rules of Canada and Québec relate to each requirement.
