Hi Cameron, As quoted from Cameron Shorter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Gertjan, I didn't realise that we would want to support multiple > language files in one application.
But we always have. Look at the I18N demo, a user can dynamically switch between the supported languages. > I would have thought that if I was developing an application for a > specific language, then I would also be required to go through and > update all messages for that language. I don't understand; during the meeting on July 24th we wrote this about it: 11:11 <CameronShorter> I assume that you would also want other languages (Eg French) to fall back to the default (English) 11:12 <gjvoosten> That is another option. Then newly added messages to the default language would still be available in other languages without having to add them explicitly; except they would be in English obviously. 11:12 <CameronShorter> right. 11:13 <gjvoosten> What I did before was simply copy all new messages to the other languages and add an XML comment <!-- TODO: translate --> to them. The TODO's show up in my task list in Eclipse, so an easy reminder there. 11:14 <CameronShorter> The person writing the widget, and the person doing the translation will usually be different. So there will always be widgets without translations for certain languages. So we should have a fallback to English. 11:14 <gjvoosten> That would be most convenient. > However, if you have a need, then I'm happy for mapbuilder to provide > the functionality.

Why not just lang=nl-BE and have MapBuilder take care of the rest?
