> What is a resource bundle? I'm not familiar with them. in the "normal" way of the i18n world (ie java) its an ascii file holding key value pairs, one file per locale (errMessages_en_US.properties, errMessages_fr_CA.properties, etc.). i have a somewhat more loose definition that includes xml (rarely) & databases.
> Also, what is the best way to store all the strings needed to display for a particular language? Should I use a separate table for each language, or just flat text files (I would assume no, since accents and whatnot may not work)? Any ideas? in a resourceBundle. i'm partial to utf-8 encoded files (which is where java & i part company) and databases depending on the app & client. files are quite fast & lend themselves easily to translations (your translation management will be a big pain actually). btw text isn't the only thing you'll have to look at: dates, numeric/currency formatting, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=i:4:138199 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
