icu4j is based on the CLDR which is a "standard", and is usually vetted fairly well. might have a look at it. > of the client's partners, though we have several from Australia.

At the beginning, adding a new locale or managing dozens of locales with dozens of rb files each w/100's of keys is complex. even after doing this for years, i still find it very complex, especially having to deal w/translators who are "domain" experts (for instance, folks who know about gold mining as opposed to man-on-the-street-translation, they're often not "professionally trained" translators & dealing w/them is a bit like herding cats). and if you deal w/professional translation agencies you'll usually get rb or xliff back. > Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that resource bundles aren't a > more robust and inclusive method of handling internationalization, > but also I think the needs of the Application may dictate whether > it's a viable solution for a given project. rb are part of good i18n practices. ray's blog uses them. so does matt's machblog. these aren't what i would consider particularly large apps but they are what i would consider fairly well though-out/designed ones. i would also say retro-fitting good i18n practices to an existing app is a dreary task at best. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:277566 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
