SUMO-based language localization

[jefft0]

Hi Adam,

The calendar app displays strings like "Monday". To localize these strings for other languages, a first instinct would be to use Java's localization support. But SUMO already has string localization, like the French word for Monday:
https://github.com/ontologyportal/sumo/blob/master/Translations/french_format.kif#L969

For many other terms, we would be relying on SUMO's language settings. What do you think about doing this for the Calendar display elements too, like weekday and month names?

Hi Jeff,
I agree - it makes for a much better demo to use SUMO's facilities.
Even better than the termFormat content might be to use the links to
Open Multilingual Wordnet since it has more languages, and a much larger
vocabulary. We could start with days of the week, months, holidays but
later expand to many other things like appointment type names and
location names. Check out com.articulate.sigma.OMWordnet

I'll take a look at the WordNet links. Different localities would say today is "13 June" vs. "June 13". Does WordNet have a way express this kind of detail? (Not a big deal if it doesn't.)

No, wordnet does not have date patterns explicit. But you can look at Stanford http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/sutime.html tool!

I agree, for time/date formats SUtime is an excellent choice

A quick glance at the SUTime page says "The currently available rules support only English." Is that right?

Hi Jeff and Alexandre,
Maybe I was too quick to endorse SUtime. I see that it's only
English, although there's still utility, and need, for handle the many
different options that exist in English. Check out
com.articulate.sigma.semRewrite.datesandnumber and I think it's already
integrated with SUtime, so it's a good place to start.
After that though it's possible we might need to look at
http://dbs.ifi.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php?id=129#c784 or others
