flags for language swaps are one of my pet peeves. they don't scale well, might get away w/1 or 2 but what about something like the 50 locales that jon has to support? and if you use one flag to represent a language, say english, which one do you use? the stars & stripes? folks in the UK might get mad. a union jack? australians might resent that. the best way to handle this is try to determine a user's locale transparently with one of the geolocation methods and provide a manual way to swap locales with each language/locale displayed name in that langauge. of course you also need a fallback locale in case you don't yet support that locale. > about_us_title = "El t�tulo"; geez but how do you manage all of these? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:277564 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
