Haxe

yeah, does it use the one passed down from lime/openFL?

i believe so yeah - i remember it being backend specific

hang on, think I found it, `haxe/ui/locale/LocaleManager`

yeah, im just trying to see how it detects the locale

there's a call to `parseResource` in `ModuleMacros` that seems to do something with it

So `Platform.getSystemLocale()` is the call, but i cant actually see it used anywhere

i think, for now, you have to set it manualy

ie: `LocaleManager.instance.language = Platform.getSystemLocale()`

where do the strings for different languages come from?

and for extensibility purposes if haxeUI is relying on something that doesn't have built-in support for whatever language is needed

there's this bit in `ModuleMacros.hx`:
```hx
for (l in m.locales) {
    var localeId = l.id;
    if (localeId == null) {
        continue;
    }
    for (r in l.resources) {
        if (r != null) {
            builder.add(macro
                haxe.ui.locale.LocaleManager.instance.parseResource($v{localeId}, $v{r})
            );
        }
    }
}
```
and scrolling further up it gets `m` from `_modules`

so it seems to be getting locale data at compile time with macros?

i stopped making my installer and got back to making my app (EZWorksheet) - i forgot how pleasent haxeui is to use

just hits different, expecially after all of the disgusting JS i needed to make a bubble background

im lucky to now a good bit of trigonometry, thta made the thing waayyyy easier, but still, annoying

do they decide layout and positional data or just translate stuff?

they dont (by default) do anything about positioning stuff, though you could implement it based on the localemanager presumably, they basically just string replace based on language

but like the date format, or decimal format one, you can kinda "do anything" with the result translated string

another event-related bug in haxeui-flixel: steppers don't cancel touch scrolling and can't be touch-scrolled themselves (but clicking on a spot on the slider bar activates it to that spot correctly)
