What about a Country helper class.

Just one thought,

Wouldn't it be helpful to have a country helper class? Just as we already have a language class.

Why?

Well for the following reasons:

Internationalization is not only a language issue and yes also a location issue.

I could stay, let's say in Germany while my preferred language is English. But this doesn't mean that I want to use decimal points instead of commas. The currency sign depends on the country, not the language. The validation rules for addresses (zipcodes, states etc..) depends on the country, not on the language.

I don't think it is a big effort to "copy" the language helper to a country helper. But the result would be great because we will be able to organize things better and more efficient.

I would like to receive critics, suggestions etc... on this issue.

Thanks,

Geraldo.
