This page is intended to be a place where we can gather information related to the localization effort in terms of stories to implement. At first we can add high level stories that will need to be broken down as we go along. This (or a subtopic) can be a place to gather technical details related to the effort too.

Open Questions

  • should date display format be set globally at the application level or should it be determined by the locale chosen by the user?
  • should number display format be set globally at the application level or should it be determined by the locale chosen by the user?

Not prioritized for 1.1:

How money and interest are implemented in Mifos now

  • Money and interest users' inputs allow only decimal separator, dot '.' for English locale and ',' for French locale...and numbers.
  • Money digits are configured in the application configuration, 7 digits before decimal separator and 1 after.
  • AccountingRules.DigitsBeforeDecimal=7 // for money, this was just added for the I18n 117 story, had been hard-coded before
  • AccountingRules.DigitsAfterDecimal=1 // for money, this was added for the configuration Accounting Rule story
  • Money is stored in the database in the form of Decimal(10, 3), meaning total digits is 10 and 3 digits after decimal point, so the digits before is 7.
  • Interest digits are configured in the application configuration, 10 digits before decimal separator and 5 after.
  • AccountingRules.DigitsBeforeDecimalForInterest=10 // had been hard-coded before, had been hard-coded before
  • AccountingRules.DigitsAfterDecimalForInterest=5 // this was just added for the I18n 117 story,had been hard-coded before
  • Interest is stored in the database in the form of Decimal(13, 10), meaning total digits is 13 and 10 digits after decimal point so the digits before is 3.
  • The max interest and min interest are configured as AccountingRules.MaxInterest=999, AccountingRules.MinInterest=0
  • Fee rate is still hard-coded and the format is 3.5 (3 digits before and 5 after)
  • Fee rate is defined in database as Decimal(16, 5)
  • The decimal separator is conformed to the configured locale. For example, the configured locale is English the decimal separator will be dot '.'.

Questions:

  • For interest the number of digits before should be 3 because of the contraint of what is defined in database?
  • Please define or confirm other rules.
