If possible all manner of text should be isolated and store in a persistence format. These text include, application error messages, hard coded strings in PHP files, emails, static HTML text, and text on form elements (e.g. buttons).

To enable the localization features in PRADO, you need to add a few configuration options in your application configuration. First you need to include the System.I18N.* namespace to your paths.
Where the second parameter in localize takes an associative array with the key as the substitution to find in the text and replaced it with the associated value. The localize function does not solve the problem of localizing languages that have plural forms, the solution is to use TChoiceFormat.
-The following sample demonstrates the basics of localization in Prado.

The date/time format is specified by means of a string time pattern. In this pattern, all ASCII letters are reserved as pattern letters, which are defined as the following:
