localization of relaitve dates

[bbembi_de]

Hi,

I want to localize dates like:
"1st day" , "2nd day", "2 days before" ....

For example in german this would be:
"1. Tag", "2. Tag", vorgestern, ....

I have no idea how I can do this.

Please Help!

Thanks for the reply so far.
But I didn't really find a solution.
Isn't there a way to just get the correct string with a int parameter.
Like: String getOrdinalNumber(int num, Locale loc);
result: 23rd, input: 23

I need this for several languages. Somebody must have had this problem
before!

For example in german this would be:
"1. Tag", "2. Tag", vorgestern, ....

Have a look at http://mindprod.com/products.html#INWORDS

it does numbers and ordinals in various languages.

You might write something similar.

In nearly every Java IDE there is an option to "externalise
strings"...
It will create resource bundle - you can add different languages
yourself.

Sure I can do this myself for every language.
I just have to know the ordinal numbers rule for every language and
implement it.
Well I would have expected that something like this would be allready
in the Java SDK class NumberFormat for instance.

Thanks for the input.
