https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16965 Summary: i18n-ISSUE-97: Allowing a page to request a given locale (4.10.7.2 normativity) Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: addison@lab126.com QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org 4.10.7.1.7 Date and Time state http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/single-page.html#date-and-time-state-type-datetime -- The format shown to the user is independent of the format used for form submission. Browsers are encouraged to use user interfaces that present dates and times according to the conventions of the user's preferred locale. -- Should we encourage the use of the *page's* preferred locale? It would be best if we could provide a way for page authors to create a consistent user experience. Work on the ECMAScript I18N extension may eventually help here, but only for formatting displayed values---this section seems to imply that the user agent have a built-in date/time control set that may not be scriptable. Although a given user agent won't necessarily support the requested locale, we would suggest providing a <form> attribute or a field attribute to allow the page itself to request a given locale using a BCP 47 language tag. The I18N WG feels that this could be accomplished by making section 4.10.7.2 normative. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
