localisation / i18n support #623

These components are very high quality and very reusable, but i frankly need the ability to do i18n on them to use this in real world projects.
So, i am asking for some support on this.

Generally you need to project a way to do:

  • text translation
  • datetime, currency and number formatting
  • RTL and LTR layout even

Its a difficult task and big, but others have done it for React.
SO far i have found this, and it looks well supported.

  • tackles the hard aspects
  • lots of committers
  • looks good to me so far
  • considers the workflow. This is very important
  • backed by format.js (http://formatjs.io/integrations/)

But how to integrate it with react toolbox in a sustainable way is really important.
There seems to be utter confusion about how best do this. Use Props, Context or Mixins.

I would very much appreciate feedback on this.

Also i am curious if others feel this is an important thing to them ?

There has been a hack done in the past. Its does not really do datetime formatting
