1. For all weblog content the locale used for rendering should be the locale configured by the weblog owner on the UI. *if* a weblog owner wants to maintain their blog in multiple languages then they can enable that and allow for the language specific views of their blog via the urls that Elias described (/<handle>/<locale>/*). In the event that a locale is present in the url then that locale is used for all i18n. 2. On the publishing/administration UI we always use the locale set in the users profile. I am not particularly tied to this approach, but it makes some sense. Alternatively we can just have the UI make use of the browser accept-language values. 3. On any pages which don't fall into either 1 or 2 above then we just use the browser's accept-language values. i.e. for registration or login pages.
k, so in reverse order 3, agreed 2, could we move to the browser's accept-language then for the admin UI? 1, this is the tricky one, I can see both sides of the argument but here are a couple of things that I don't see how to handle a) The home page blog. What is the language of the homepage blog? It seems wrong (to me) to have a specific language for the homepage. Shouldn't it use the user's locale? b) Common navigation. IBM's connections blogs has common navigation across all the blogs, similar to what google does on blogger. Should this common navigator be in the language of the current blog or the language of the user. I think it should be the latter, but I could be swayed. Thoughts? Rob
