Ok.

What is Localizer class?
 - An object of Localizer class is associated to a specific locale
 - It converts number strings represented in the HTML5 format to localized number strings , and vice versa.
 - It formats date/time data represented in DateComponents class to localized strings, and parses localized date/time strings.
 - It provides localized date format patterns for date, datetime, month, and time input types
 - It provides various localized data to build UI. e.g. localized month names, localized AM/PM, localized decimal point, localized day-of-week names, the first day of week, text direction

It is a combination of NSLocale, NSNumberFormatter, NSDateFormatter, NSCalendar, and it's similar to QLocale of Qt.

We discussed the name before introducing Localizer, and other class name candidates were Locale, LocaleData, and LocaleInfo. We dropped Locale because locale.h will conflict with a C standard header.
