Date, Time, ANSI and I17N

Hi All,

did someone think about internationalization of date/time in Squeak?

I guess by default all output should be in the squeak standard format.
Then would we need

   localizedPrintOn:
or
   printFormat:translated

Would do you think would be best?

Another point is ANSI:

ANSI states that dayOfWeek returns 1 for sunday, 2 for monday ..., but as 
far as I see, there is no way to _set_ the first day of a week in ANSI, so 
if we have a means to set the first day of week to monday, shouldn't this 
be used then?


Thanks for your responses,

Ingo
