In a last post I was talking about some features in Zend_Locale. one of this features was the ability of getting numbers totally
localized. f.e. if we are using the locale ar_EG we can get the number 1235.452 to be formated like 1٬235٫452. the number will be formated depending on the locale settings that’s used by each country (all the locale setting are coming from LDML files).
Thomas Weidner did a great work to finish all that and he is hard working now on Zend_Date. so I coded the idea of normalizing and generating localized number notations. to get it clearer, in Arabic we are using special notation of numbers so in the last example we won’t get the result as 1٬235٫452 only but it will be ١٬٢٣٥٫٤٥٢. you won’t be forced to get the numbers notation localized , there will be an optional parameter that you can use to set your preferred behavior.
there is a lot of other nice things and I hope that I will be posting about it soon, just after getting every thing ready.

And about the Arabic translation of the docs, I have finished 60% of the files . expect it to be ready soon.
