Locale App & Handling #105

gfwilliams · 2020-02-25T09:16:09Z

As discussed here: http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/290058/#15120253

Add an app and code to handle output of time/distance/etc in a locale-sensitive way

thanks, I guess not all of them can be handle with a single font.

Lets talk about the content that should be available as a locale set.

Suggest to use short names instead of long names

lc : {
    nol : name of locale, eg "de_DE"
    mon : month full as comma separated array  "%B"
    abmon : month short form as comma separated array  "%b"
    day  : day as comma separated array "%A"
    abday : day short form as comma separated array  "%s"
    dp : decimal_point 
    ts: thousands_sep 
    cs: currency_symbol 
    ics: int_curr_symbol 
    ys: yesstr 
    ns: nostr    
    apm : am_pm eq eg 0 or 1
}

Anything else you see to have in that set to start?

n=>n.toString().replace(lc.ts,lc.dp)

How should this app be designed?

select the wanted locale out of maintained ones via html setting page
create a single file with the requested locale data
sample name "locale"
content: locale data and functions
include into other apps via var DF = require('locales')
used something similar than DF suggested by allObjects

gfwilliams · 2020-02-27T08:46:18Z

I just sorted by number of backers, and I think working back would be a good start:

Finland : 10
Belgium : 12
Spain : 12
Israel : 20
Austria : 24
Australia : 25
Sweden : 29
France : 33
Switzerland : 35
Canada : 37
Netherlands : 41
Japan : 52
United Kingdom : 189
United States : 252
Germany : 348

I think Japan/Israel are unlikely to be sensible right now. At some point it might be possible to supply bitmaps for text, but I think that's going too far atm.

ys: yesstr, ns: nostr

Maybe we should have:

translate : { yes : ..., no: ..., ok : ..., on: ..., off: .... } then we could basically just look phrases up in translate before displaying them. It'd make code nice and readable since it's basically english, and more translations could easily be added over time.

select the wanted locale out of maintained ones via html setting page

This sounds like an amazing idea (rather than trying to upload every possible translation to the watch).

As you say, I reckon we just put everything (code and data) in one file called locale. Once we figure out what API it'll have I can put a placeholder in the Bangle.js firmware for English, then if you upload the 'Locale' app you'll get whatever locale you wanted.

So in terms of API:

require('locale').name -> string - localeString
require('locale').translate(string) -> string could be called for any text string. I can build that into E.showMenu/etc so menus/messages magically get translated
require('locale').date(Date) -> string
require('locale').time(Date) -> string
require('locale').dow(0..6,short:bool) -> string - day of week
require('locale').month(0..11,short:bool) -> string
require('locale').number(number) -> string
require('locale').currency(number) -> string
require('locale').currencySym -> string
require('locale').distance(number) -> string
require('locale').speed(number) -> string
require('locale').geo(gps_fix) -> string - maybe? Some countries have particular coordinate systems, but this may be going a bit too far

MaBecker · 2020-02-27T19:49:03Z

looks like FontDylex7x13 can handle the selected locales.

MaBecker · 2020-02-28T03:06:08Z

let’s add temperature (°C, °F) too.

require('locale').temp(number) -> string

gfwilliams · 2020-02-28T08:38:01Z

Good plan re:temperature - in terms of fonts, I wonder if we can't extend the 6x8 font to handle the extended ASCII chars? Ideally we would use something built-in.

MaBecker · 2020-02-28T12:01:11Z

extend the 6x8 font

Hope that fits into firmware

gfwilliams · 2020-02-28T16:17:17Z

Ok, first draft:

exports = { name : "en_GB", currencySym:"£",
  translate : str=>str, // as-is
  date : (d,short) => short?("0"+d.getDate()).substr(-2)+"/"+("0"+(d.getMonth()+1)).substr(-2)+"/"+d.getFullYear():d.toString().substr(4,11), // Date to "Feb 28 2020" or "28/02/2020"(short)
  time : (d,short) => { // Date to  "4:15.28 pm" or "15:42.59"(short)
    if (short)
      return d.toString().substr(16,5)+"."+d.toString().substr(22,2);
    else {
      var h = d.getHours(), m = d.getMinutes(), r = "am";
      if (h==0) { h=12; }
      else if (h>=12) {
        if (h>12) h-=12;
        r = "pm";
      }
      return (" "+h).substr(-2)+":"+("0"+m).substr(-2)+"."+("0"+d.getSeconds()).substr(-2)+" "+r;
    }
  },
  dow : (d,short) => short?d.toString().substr(0,3):"Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday".split(",")[d.getDay()], // Date to "Monday" or "Mon"(short)
  month : (d,short) => short?d.toString().substr(4,3):"January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December".split(",")[d.getMonth()], // Date to "February" or "Feb"(short)
  number : n => n.toString(), // more fancy?
  currency : n => "£"+n.toFixed(2), // number to "£1.00"
  distance : m => (m<1000)?Math.round(m)+"m":Math.round(m/160.934)/10+"mi", // meters to "123m" or "1.2mi" depending on size
  speed : s => Math.round(s)+"mph",// kph to "123mph"
  temp : t => Math.round(t)+"'C" // degrees C to degrees C
};

/*
print(exports.date(new Date()));     
print(exports.date(new Date(),true));
print(exports.time(new Date()));
print(exports.time(new Date(),true));
print(exports.dow(new Date()));
print(exports.dow(new Date(),true));
print(exports.month(new Date()));
print(exports.month(new Date(),true));
print(exports.number(12345));
print(exports.currency(12345));
print(exports.distance(123));
print(exports.speed(123));
print(exports.temp(12));
*/

Does that seem reasonable?

If you save it to a file called 'locale' then you can do:

require("locale.js").date(new Date())

So assuming the API looks ok, I can add that to Bangle.js firmware, then we can start using it in apps and maybe producing that locale app which will

gfwilliams · 2020-02-28T16:18:29Z

I guess we could maybe modify time so it always did 12 or 24, but so there was a meridian() function which returned "am"/"pm"/""(if 24)

MaBecker · 2020-02-28T16:53:25Z

Edit: It could work like the splash screen, if it exist use it, else use the default.

I will continue to work on the locales set and generating a locale.

gfwilliams · 2020-02-28T17:07:46Z

Ok, great! The newest firmware builds now have the locale module in, so we should be able to start using it for stuff...

MaBecker · 2020-03-01T21:35:21Z

this is the locale set that could be used with app local:

Edit: fixed some errors

this seem's to be the easiest way to create locale.js

s.write('locale', `

locale = ${JSON.stringify(locales[lang])};

exports  = {
    name: locale.lang,
    currencySym: String.fromCharCode(locale.currency_symbol),
    dow:   (d,short) => {day = d.getDay();return (short) ? locale.abday.split(",")[day] : locale.day.split(",")[day];},
    month: (d,short) => { month = d.getMonth(); return (short) ? locale.abmonth.split(",")[month] : locale.month.split(",")[month];},
    number: n => n.toString().replace(locale.thousands_sep, locale.decimal_point),
    currency: n => n.toFixed(2) + locale.int_curr_symbol,
    distance: n => (n < 1000) ? Math.round(n) + locale.distance[0] : Math.round(n/1000) + locale.distance[1],
    speed: s => Math.round(s) +locale.speed,
    temp: t => Math.round(t) + locale.temperature,
    translate: s => (locale.lang.substr(2) == "en")? s: locale.trans[s]
};`);

Missing function for time and date because not sure about timePattern and datePattern

date
- a : abday
- A : day
- b : abmonth
- B : month
- y : year like 20 l
- yy : year like 2020 century and
- m : month numeric
- mm : month numeric with leading 0
- d : day numeric
- dd : day numeric with leading 0
time
- HH : hour
- MM : minute
- SS : second


What do you think about patterns and a DateTimeFormater `DTF` like allObject has suggested?

gfwilliams · 2020-03-02T17:40:09Z

I'd maybe just add code to which outputs the actual JS rather than including the whole formatter...

var f = "yy-mm-dd";
f = f.replace("yy","${d.getFullYear().substr(-2)}");
// ...
s.write('locale', `
...
exports  = {
  date  : d => \`${f}\`
};`);

something like that? So all that code would then live in the HTML bit of the app and what was stored on Bangle.js would be a templated string?

MaBecker · 2020-03-04T05:57:37Z

Yes, it's all in the .htlm app file, only local and functions are saved on the device.
I like that idea, so let's build a replacement list to replace all possible entries.

Ok, decided to use Unix date format otherwise replacement can destroy function names.

%Y	year four digits
%y	last two digits of year (00..99)
%m	month (01..12)
%d	day of month (e.g, 01)

%a	locale's abbreviated weekday name (e.g., Sun)
%A	locale's full weekday name (e.g., Sunday)
%b	locale's abbreviated month name (e.g., Jan)
%B	locale's full month name (e.g., January) 

%H	hour (00..23)
%M	minute (00..59)
%S	second (00..60)
%p	locale's equivalent of either AM or PM; blank if not known
%P      like %p, but lower case

MaBecker · 2020-03-04T15:21:27Z

What about calling function currency?

Should this include decimal point replacement?

console.log(require('locale').currency(4.98));
// 4.98€ or 4,98€

gfwilliams · 2020-03-04T15:24:22Z

Hmm - I guess it probably should, yes...

gfwilliams · 2020-03-04T15:30:57Z

Are you already writing the locale HTML file for BangleApps? Because if you're not and you have some code already done for making the locale JS file, if you sent it over/post it up I'd be more than happy to integrate something with BangleApps for you.

MaBecker · 2020-03-04T15:36:31Z

Great, just running all locales to check for typos and then I will post locales and code generator.

MaBecker · 2020-03-04T16:03:43Z

Thanks for creating that local HTML file.

// locale.js
/* jshint esversion: 6 */

s = require('Storage');

/*
    %Y	year four digits
    %y	last two digits of year (00..99)
    %m	month (01..12)
    %d	day of month (e.g, 01)

    %a	locale's abbreviated weekday name (e.g., Sun)
    %A	locale's full weekday name (e.g., Sunday)
    %b	locale's abbreviated month name (e.g., Jan)
    %B	locale's full month name (e.g., January) 

    %H	hour (00..23)
    %M	minute (00..59)
    %S	second (00..60)
    %p	locale's equivalent of either AM or PM; blank if not known
    %P  like %p, but lower case

This is a unique feature and Espruino is the first!

gfwilliams · 2020-03-04T16:44:08Z

Just pushed! It's not live on banglejs.com/apps yet, but you should be able to try it with:

https://espruino.github.io/BangleApps/

Just gave it a quick try and it seems to work pretty well, so I guess now we just need to modify the apps to use it :/

gfwilliams · 2020-03-04T16:55:19Z

Thanks for all your work on this - it looks awesome!

Just a note on this: we should tweak require('locale').translate such that if there is no translation it just returns the original String, so it can just be blanket applied to all text strings without having to have any other checks involved.

Not had a chance to test yet but:

translate: s => (locale.lang.substr(2) == "en")? s: (locale.trans[s]||s),

would probably do it. In fact come to think of it, translate: s => locale.trans[s.toLowerCase()]||s, is probably fine. Americans may still want colour -> color and stuff like that.

Just pushed! It's not live on banglejs.com/apps yet, but you should be able to try it with:

Thanks, so let's do some further testing including a clock.

Some questions came up on my site:

Have you thought about app dependencies, like if a app uses locale, only upload if locale is already available otherwise inform via popup.
What about the font 6x8 font, I will test with FontDylex7x13

gfwilliams · 2020-03-05T09:23:27Z

Have you thought about app dependencies, like if a app uses locale

This one in particular is easy - I've now built en_GB locale into the Bangle.js firmware - so if there is no locale installed everything will still work great.

But something more general as you suggest would be really cool, and I guess now Storage filenames are bigger we could actually load required modules in the same way. Maybe that's something for a new issue...

What about the font 6x8 font

Hmm. I extended both fonts to use char code 128 for euro, but there's nothing in there for vector. It doesn't help with accented chars like Sí or miércoles or even °C either. Either we:

Have to come up with complete new fonts (6x8 came from http://uzebox.org/wiki/index.php?title=File:Sebasic_charset_192w.png which is very basic)
Create a mapping for built-in fonts - í to i/etc. Potentially we could manually add a handful of extra chars for commonly used ones?
Pre-map all the translations in locales.js to char codes<128 for now (apart from euro, which was easy to add)

gfwilliams · 2020-03-05T13:32:11Z

New Bangle.js firmwares now auto-translate menu/prompt/etc

MaBecker · 2020-03-05T13:54:56Z

This one in particular is easy - I've now built en_GB locale into the Bangle.js firmware - so if there is no locale installed everything will still work great.

That's perfect.

Hmm. I extended both fonts to use char code 128 for euro, but there's nothing in there for vector. It doesn't help with accented chars like Sí or miércoles or even °C either. Either we:

I think a 6x8 ISO10646-1 loading from flash will do, if possible as overload to the existing one.
Do you have one in mind?

gfwilliams · 2020-03-05T14:07:08Z

The thing is because we're using it for menus as well, we'd basically have to use the font for everything, and somehow override the built-in font for the menus and stuff like that.

Assuming we could find a 6x8 font in ISO10646-1, I think I should just build it in and replace the original (it'd use another 850 bytes maybe).

MaBecker · 2020-03-05T14:11:35Z

If this space is available we should go for it.

From my side we can close this issue and continue with that font in a new issue

MaBecker · 2020-03-05T15:45:26Z

Assuming we could find a 6x8 font in ISO10646-1, I think I should just build it in and replace the original (it'd use another 850 bytes maybe).

This one looks nice: http://uzebox.org/wiki/images/f/f4/6x8font.gif

gfwilliams · 2020-03-05T16:35:21Z

I'm on it. Damn, that one does look good - not sure if it's the same character set though? No euro at char position 128...

gfwilliams · 2020-03-05T17:09:37Z

Well that took a while... I think the result is pretty cool though: espruino/Espruino@9c17b44

I'm not 100% sure it's the right charset, but it definitely has euro and we can tweak it now. I also think I prefer the look.
