Localization is something we need to figure out how to do. My instinct is to do the following: * Allow someone to explicitly request a specific locale, ie, <script src="http://cc.org/widget/de/source.js";></script> * If they request the "generic" version, use the browser's language information to return the "best guess". So if the default language in the browser is pt-BR, we'd return the Brazilian Portuguese version even if the generic one was requested.

I don't think it'd be appropriate for XUL applications -- for one thing it'll be using document.write to inject an HTML <input> element (well, several of them), which doesn't always work well in XUL in my experience (iirc you have to do some special namespace declarations to mix XUL and HTML). > > If some coding time is needed, please don't hesitate to call on me. > > --Paul > > > All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer > http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/uwc2006/content/mail_disclaimer/index.htm > > _______________________________________________ > cc-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-devel > > _______________________________________________ cc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-devel
