Demonstrate how to build SuiteApps to support internationalization and localization.

Question 1

What is the purpose of the N/currency module?

Answer 1

We can use it to find the exchange rate between 2 currencies based on a certain date

Question 2

Using the nCurrency.exchangeRate(options) function in N/currency module, what are the 3 ‘options’ parameters?

Answer 2

◦ source: The original currency
◦ target: The target currency
◦ date: The date the currency exchange should take place

Question 3

What are the 2 main purposes of the N/format module?

Answer 3

We can format strings into a specified format

We can parse formatted dates into strings

Question 4

The N/format/i18n module is used for what 4 main purposes?

Answer 4

• Formatting of strings in international context
• Formatting of numbers to currency or number strings
• Formatting of phone numbers to strings
• Parsing of strings to phone numbers

Question 5

What does the nFormat.getCurrencyFormatter(options) function do?

Answer 5

Creates an nFormat.CurrencyFormatter object to format numbers into currency strings

Question 6

What are the 2 options of the nFormat.getCurrencyFormatter(options) function

Answer 6

▪ currency: Code of the currency that is used by formatter
▪ locale: Code of the locale that is used by formatter

Question 7

What does the nFormat.getNumberFormatter(options) function do?

Answer 7

Creates an nFormat.NumberFormatter object to format numbers into strings.

Question 8

What are the 5 options in the nFormat.getNumberFormatter(options) function?

Answer 8

▪ groupSeparator:
▪ decimalSeparator
▪ precision
▪ negativeNumberFormat
▪ locale: Indicates the locale from which default settings are determined

Question 9

True or False?

The locale option in the nFormat.getNumberFormatter(options) function, can be overridden by the other 4 options in the function.

Answer 9

True.

The locale determines the formatting of numbers.

E.G. 1.5 in the UK would be 1,5 in France. They use a comma to denote a decimal instead of a point.

This can be overridden by the other options because they specify what to use in those instances.

Question 10

What does the nFormat.spellOut(options) function do, and what are the options parameters?

Answer 10

Spells out positive and negative number as a string in a specific language.

Options are:
▪ number
▪ locale: language code

Question 11

What does the nFormat.getPhoneNumberParse(options) function do, and what are the options parameters?

Answer 11

Create nFormat.PhoneNumberParser object to parse the string with the phone number to an object.

Options are:
▪ defaultCountry

Question 12

What is the purpose of the N/recordContext module?

Answer 12

Used to get all the available context types of the record, such as localization

Question 13

Using the N/recordContext module, what does the localisation context type indicate?

Answer 13

The localization context type indicates which country a script is using for execution

Question 14

When SDFing, to make the object only run for records with a specific localization context, we must do what 2 things?

Answer 14

▪ Specify the name of the country in the localizationcontext field in the XML definition

▪ Set the alllocalizationcontexts field in the XML definition to “F”

Question 15

What is one good thing we can do with the logic of a script using the N/recordContext module?

Answer 15

Can be used to create conditional statements within a script so that the script behaves differently based on the context.

Question 16

Utilising the N/recordContext module, what are the 3 options for the nRecordContext.getContext(options) function?

Answer 16

▪ recordType
▪ recordId
▪ contextTypes

Question 17

What does the N/translation module allow SuiteScript developers to do?

Answer 17

The N/translation module lets SuiteScript developers interact with NetSuite Translation Collections programmatically.
