With this new localization we provide more features with less requirements for the localization strings and it includes formatting for all available locales, based on `Intl`.
With our new localization we introduce more features with less requirements for both our localization strings and formatting for all available locales. The formatting is now based on the standards introduced by the `Intl` API.

Currently, Ignite UI for Angular ships with resource strings for the following languages: `Bulgarian`, `Czech`, `Danish`, `Dutch`, `English`, `French`, `German`, `Hungarian`, `Italian`, `Japanese`, `Korean`, `Norwegian`, `Polish`, `Portuguese`, `Romanian`, `Spanish`, `Swedish`, `Turkish`, `Traditional Chinese (zh-Hant)` and `Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans)`. These are available via the `igniteui-angular-i18n` package, except for English which comes as a default localization in `igniteui-angular`.
