Additional Localization of the Group Web Page
The Group Web page has specific localization requirements in addition to the ones described in Shared Localization Requirements. They include the following:
- The Group Web page for the U.S. English version of the application contains Begin time and End time fields with A.M. and P.M. attributes. Germany and Japan do not attach A.M. and P.M. attributes to their time data because they use a 24-hour clock. About the Formats Component describes how the PT application validates time data with locale-specific rules.
- On the Group form, users indicate the days a group meets by checking days of the week. In the United States and Japan, the first day of the week is Sunday, but most other locales, including Germany, use Monday as the first day of the week. The sequence of the meeting-day check boxes should reflect this locale-specific convention. Translating Data Values for Check Boxes describes the code that interprets the string stored in the MeetingDays column of the Group table. The PT application does not implement this localization feature.
