Hi! Internationalization is aways a difficult subject. I have worked on it for quite some time and recently moved to CakePHP 1.2 to evaluate how it was implemented there.
I found the following things could be optimized, maybe I am wrong about some things so I am asking for correction. - Adding a new language (for example Welsh) seems to be only possible by modifying the CakePHP (l18n.php) sources. There should be a way to bypass the locale mapping if necessary. ??? - The locale mapping defaults to ISO 639-3 language lists to find out the right locale... Seriously... this is backward. It may be appropiate for the auto-browser language feature but for anything else this list is way too underdeveloped. The thing is that locale != language . Why not use the IANA language registry and their codes - which is alot easier, alot more unique for small languages, and also takes account of language variations? see: http://people.w3.org/rishida/utils/subtags/ http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry As I said, I am a newbie on CakePHP. Is there a way to bypass the language mappings and determine the /locale/dirname myself?
