Wordchuck Launches Library of Locale-Specific Details

by Shelly
We've just launched our Library of Locale-Specific Details, which includes professionally translated localized information for 28 locales!

The library is free for Wordchuck projects, and means you automatically get locale-specific data (like date formats, currencies, date/times, numbers, etc.) included when you generate your locale files using our Ruby gem.

The Library includes locale details for:

» Arabic
» British (en-GB)
» Chinese (zh-CN)
» Croatian
» Czech
» Danish
» Dutch
» English
» Estonian
» Finnish
» French
» German
» Greek
» Hindi
» Indonesian
» Italian
» Japanese
» Latvian
» Polish
» Portuguese
» Romanian
» Russian
» Slovak
» Spanish
» Spanish - Latin America (es-AR)
» Swedish
» Turkish
» Vietnamese

To include the new locale data, simply run: 
rake wordchuck:generate
This will re-create your locale files. When the rake task completes, you'll see the new locale-specific formats at the top of your locale files.

We're working on including more, so please let us know if you have specific locales you'd like added.
