Localization

The Localization component is responsible for providing extensible support for any mobile application to be adapted for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific components and translating text.

It centralizes all localization resources from an application in a single editor. This editor works like a spreadsheet where you can edit cells individually and perform operations over columns and groups of cells.

Since Sequoyah already provides a localization framework for strings, and with the goal of providing a more complete and easy to use framework, Sequoyah now intends to deal with other localizable resources besides strings. In this document we have a proposal of such effort, where we list some user stories describing how we intend to extend the current framework to deal with images, sounds and video in a first moment. In a later moment, the framework will also be capable of treating even other localizable resources, such as formatting, currency, date and time.
