SMS notification: time format not translatable

Bug #1372061 reported by David Planella on 2014-09-21

This bug affects 3 people

	Status	Importance	Assigned to	Milestone
Canonical System Image	Fix Released	High	kevin gunn	Canonical System Image ww46-2015 "ota8"
Ubuntu Translations	Triaged	Low	Unassigned
ubuntu-settings-components (Ubuntu)	Fix Released	High	Nick Dedekind
ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu)	Fix Released	High	Cris Dywan
unity8 (Ubuntu)	Fix Released	High	Nick Dedekind

Bug Description

See the attached screenshot. The time for the notification seems to be hardcoded to "hh:mm - mm, d". This works well for the US, but it's not a format that is used in all other countries. In Spain, for example, the date would rather be "d mm".

The time format needs to be marked for translation.

Not sure from which project the notifications come from, for some reason I seem to remember they were moved to u-s-s, but if it's the wrong project/package, please reassign. Thanks!

This should be using the datetime indicator translation context, perhaps this is wrong?
We're meaning to move the relative time formatters to the sdk to get consistency.

Nick Dedekind (nick-dedekind) wrote on 2014-11-21:

This is due to the datetime indicator no longer having relative time formatting; so the cross domain usage for translated time formats in unity8 is no longer in sync.

Highlights the problem of inconsistency, and the need to move this to sdk.

Currently in unity8 we rely on indicator-datetime translations for time string formats; but since these are no longer in sync with the one's used in unity8, it's not working.

I'm moving the time formatter into the sdk where the translations will be done.
Everything (messaging & alarm/events) should be passing around "time stamps" rather than "time strings", which can be formatted & translated by the UIs inconsistently.

The branch proposed for the toolkit does not cover the BP https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+spec/time-formatter. Beside that, I agree with Tim and Christian, that there is no need to provide a component dedicated to translate date and time only, especially that we have the internationalisation engine which can be extended with a function or two to support this.

I used a component because using function won't respond to changes in locale, time-zone, daylight savings, etc without a refresh of the data.
It's a lot more complicated than just a i18n.tr("12:00 PM") kind of thing. Unless you have a better idea (other than ignoring changes).

Nick, you can get updates on function calls when local or any parameter used changes. See i18n.tr() and other functions also get updated when locale changes. You could have thing like i18n.trDate(date, format) which returns an object, which in turn can also have properties/functions so those can get updated whenever date, format or locale changes.
