trait Dates extends AnyRef
A trait that correctly displays and formats dates in multiple languages.
This object contains helper methods to correctly format dates in any language supported by the IBM ICU library.
This trait requires a default timezone to be defined, as well as String values for the English words: - to - day - days
These values should come from a Messages file for each language that needs to be supported.
