Language support

Is there inbuild support for languages? For example if I set the simulator to French I still see "Mon" for Monday. Whats the best way to add language support for the inbuild text like months, days etc

That stuff should all be built-in. You should only need to localize strings that are stored within your app (but not those provided by the framework).

Doesn't seem to work in simulator.

var day = Calendar.info(now, Time.FORMAT_MEDIUM).day_of_week;
var month = Calendar.info(now, Time.FORMAT_MEDIUM).month;
var dateString = Lang.format("$1$ $2$ $3$", [day, info.day.format("%02d"), month]);

Shows English version of month despite the simulator language setting.

The Calendar values are not translated in the simulator, except of Chinese, Japanese, and Thai. I've created a task to add support for all the languages to this module.
