Hello Torsten,

  +1! As Russian user i'm also join to initiative. Separate
  flying button text and internal Cocoon millstone - it's a good idea.
  Your new syntax look not so bad. Try it.

> Subject: [PROPOSAL] cocoon-action
> the latest dicussion revealed a i18n problem with the cocoon-action.
> Let's say we have a simple action-set

>   <action-set>
>     <action type="..." action="Add"/>
>     <action type="..." action="Delete"/>
>   </action-set>

> This action-set can be used in HTML as follows

>   <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="Add">
>   <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="Delete">

> Now here is the problem: the value attribute is the key for the action set
> as well as the caption of the input button. Now think of a i18n site. The
> HTML should look like for locale "de":

>   <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="Hinzufuegen">
>   <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="Loeschen">

> But the action-set has still english keys. So you would need an action-set
> per lanuage. This is IMHO really *BAD*!!!!!!!

> So I propose to change this as follows:

>   locale en:
>   <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action-Add" value="Add">

>   locale de:
>   <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action-Add" value="Hinzufuegen">

> ...so there is no i18n dependency. AAAND while changing this I'd also like
> to add a way to pass another parameter to the action:

>   <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action-Add/parametervalue" value="Add">

> This would make an MultiAction very easy to implement! :) But I'm sure
> there are other use-cases as well...

> So I'd like to deprecate the old "cocoon-action" syntax (but still support
> it) and like to introduce the new syntax.
