#JS #Intl #i18n

Hello browser people, hello server people, hello JS,

what I do wonder about is if we could harmonize the data offered in your version of Intl https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl

Two examples :
- Federal States and Currency

user story;
A client-to-server federated software can rely on Intl and use all of its data and names in all of the languages consistently.

Currently some environments only offer ISO3166-2 and "a subset of" ISO3166-2-lvl4 while others thankfully offer all ISO3166-2-lvl4 and ISO3166-2-lvl8 …
Let's just get all of the states.

Yesterday we had a quiz with the question of the currency in the "holiday paradise Curaçao and Sint Maarten" which is the Carribean Gulden since 2025.

Could there be 1 repository for the data for all [despite hypercapitalism] ?

Then we could e.g. write things comparing against e.g. wikidata, contribute, keep it updated and be happy.

Das Intl Namensraum-Objekt enthält mehrere Konstruktoren sowie Funktionen, die den Internationalisierungs-Konstruktoren und anderen sprachsensitiven Funktionen gemeinsam sind. Zusammen bilden sie die ECMAScript Internationalization API, die sprachsensitive Zeichenfolgenvergleiche, Nummernformatierung, Datums- und Zeitformatierung und mehr bietet.

@webi18n

Thank you !!! (!)

JS Intl is probably the most underestimated thing in the web :)

Try to ask devs. where in the browser you find the name in all the languages of all ISO stuff like countries, regions, languages currency.
Try to ask where all the timezones of the world are or how you give people internationalized lists, number expressions or relative time …

This is all https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl and in #ActivityPub we just need to federate e.g. id: "DE" for Germany.
It is crazy nice for https://martinfowler.com/bliki/Datensparsamkeit.html as well - our preview of the countries tsv incl. all stats like Pressfreedom Index is around 50kb …
Die AI, die.

Intl - JavaScript | MDN

The Intl namespace object contains several constructors as well as functionality common to the internationalization constructors and other language sensitive functions. Collectively, they comprise the ECMAScript Internationalization API, which provides language sensitive string comparison, number formatting, date and time formatting, and more.
