Hi, the thread is quite old... but anyway, I've tried to make the stylesheet (please tell me if it is right, by the way how could I avoid that xmlns:i18n in each generated tag?). I don't understand some things. I create a messages.xml file which looks like (I'd prefer not to use simple keys but the original text, I don't think I can find a name for each element in the site):
<catalogue i18n:lang="ca"> <message key="maybe a very very long text">maybe a very very long text</message> </catalogue> That's right. This is the file in the same language as the site. Then I make a couple of copies of it and name it messages_ca.xml (the original language) and messages_es.xml (because I want to translate it into spanish). I translate this file: <catalogue i18n:lang="es"> <message key="maybe a very very long text">translation of the text</message> </catalogue> And now what? You said I don't need anything else but in the sitemap I need to tell only one dictionary... Do I need to merge both files into one dictionary? How do I tell through the sitemap which language to use? I suppose you only create one messages file for the hole site merging multiple messages files... and you "refresh" it with another stylesheet.. am I right? Well... can't think of more questions right now ;) Thanks in advance! >> From: Albert Cervera Areny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >> >> Hi, >> I've been looking at the i18n transformer in the >> documentation web page, >> however I can't see how it works in production.
