Unfortunately Stéphane, it looks like someone put the axe in all the Localization/Translation stuff... Unless there's a new Locale/Translation framework and I missed it, it'll take some major effort to be able to print months, week days and other stuff in French or any other language! :( Right now, the localization/translation code is broken in Pharo.  ----------------- Benoit St-Jean Yahoo!

Hello everyone,
While looking at bug 6596, I started wondering why we didn't have more options to print dates (and/or their parts). I've gathered "date formats" printing options from various sources and started implementing all those different formats and options. I have implemented 6 new methods to print the different date components/parts/timespans.
Do you think this stuff would be useful?Â
Yes I often just want the one that is not there :) Note that in French we have
 14 mai 2002
So it would be good to support it. I imagine that we can with the #(d m y) description.
Anything missing?Â
Here are the supported format options I came up with. Most of them are already implemented, now it's just a matter of writing the numerous missing unit tests! ;)
