IMPERIAL NUMERIC SIGNS

Good afternoon.

 

I developed long ago a software for elaborating quotations in spanish language and international english. Currently we need to expand these to USA so there is a request to make an option with the dates and numbers formatted in Imperial instead.

I can't find the option or how to do it.

ANy help??

After searching for "imperial date or imperial numbers", the answer is resounding: zero responses.

What you are asking is probably wrong or poorly stated.

If dates and numbers are referred to in a program with international scope, you must leave in the configuration of your program the formats that adapt to what the client prefers, or directly relate it to the location of the device.

The programmer's job is hard...

Successes!

 

 

Luego de buscar "fecha imperial o números imperiales", la respuesta es contundente: cero respuestas.

Probablemente lo que estas preguntando sea equivocado o mal planteado.

Si de fechas y números se refiere en un programa de alcance internacional, debes dejar en la configuración de tu programa los formatos que se adecuen a lo que el cliente prefiera, o bien directamente, relacionarlo con el locale del dispositivo.

Duro el trabajo del programador...

Exitos!

At this point, the largest reason we still cling to the imperial system is inertia. So much is in place that we think of via imperial measurements - your weight is in pounds, your height in inches, your milk in gallons, and so on - that at this point it would be a lot of work to change.

Something is getting lost in the translation (to English) ... perhaps you can explain your requirement with some example(s) ?

Understand and write your own functions.

I have level two telepathy. :)
I daresay he needs to convert the metric system to the imperial system and translate it all into text.
One kilometer one hundred meters fifty centimeters = seven hundred seventy-one miles six inches one foot one hundred three yards five furlongs.
Something like that, if I understood correctly.

Thanks for the example @mishem ... here in Canada, we are stuck with both systems ... officially we have been metric for over 45 years, but stores still show prices in both systems ... inertia for older folk, but really confusing for school kids, who are not taught anything from the Imperial System ... good news is that it won't be long before the old fogies (like me) pass away; problem solved.

As for the USA, it is a matter of Economics ... change would involve trillions of dollars ... so, no solution in sight.
