Re: i18n translation with attributes: 2 questions

[Joerg Heinicke]

As I mentioned in my last mail, I guess you must use the "value" attribute for changing the text on the button:

<input type="submit" value="submit" i18n:attr="value"/>

The name is only interesting for DOM processings like document.form[0].elements["name of the form element"].

Hello Joerg,

Thank you very much for your response.
I think I've done what you told me.
in my stylesheet:

<input type="submit" name="submit" i18n:attr="name"/>

and in my dictionaries
french:
<message key="submit">Soumettre la requête</message>

english:

<message key="submit">Submit the request</message>

But unfortunately (I've stopped and restarded Tomcat), I always have the
same french message on the button, even when I ask for the english version!

Did I still make something wrong?

Regards,

Cyril.

Hello Cyril,

Hi,

If some of you would have some tips for these two questions, I would be

very

grateful:

1°) Under Cocoon 2.0.4 and Windows 2000:
I use a i18n Transformer (with french and english dictionnaries), and

all's

working fine with elements' translation. But not for attributes.
I have basicaly a HTML form with a submit button.
As described in the Cocoon's doc, I write the following in my stylesheet

to

be translated:
<input TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" i18n:attr="value"/>

and in my French dictionary:
<message key="value">Soumettre la requête</message>

in my English dictionary:

<message key="value">Submit the request</message>

WHen I call http://localhost:8080/cocoon/tutoriel?locale=fr, I can see

the

correct value of the button, ie: 'Soumettre la requête'.
But when I call english translation with
http://localhost:8080/cocoon/tutoriel?locale=en, I still obtain the same
french message, although I've specified the english version for this
button's value in the english dictionary.
Could it have to handle with the xerces's bug described in the doc??

No, it works a bt different with attributes. In i18n:attr="..." you
specify the attributes, that shell be translated. You have "value" in
your above example, but there is no attribute "value", only "TYPE" and
"NAME". So change it to i18n:attr="NAME" to get the value of the
attribute "NAME" translated or add an attribute "value", which is used
for the text on the button AFAIK. Furthermore the value of the attribute
to translate is the key (above example: NAME="submit" => key =
"submit"). This key must be used in the dictionary (=> <message
key="submit"/>).
With the Xerces bug you won't get anything as output I think. At least
you would have a stack trace in the log files.

2°)  In my styleshhet, I've got a second hidden input area.

For each one, I have to use i18n:attr="value" in the sitemap and
<message key="value">Some text</message> in the dictionary, I want to
internationalise both (That's I want to do precisely...).

So, Is it possible to make a difference between them?

<FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="">

<b><i18n:text>choix</i18n:text></b>

<a href="?locale=fr"><i18n:text>choix_langue_fr</i18n:text></a> | <a
href="?locale=en"><i18n:text>choix_langue_en</i18n:text></a>

<input type="hidden" name="locale" value="fr"/> //First attribute value

to

internationalise => fr in french and en in english

Knowing the above at 1° this is no longer a problem:

<input type="hidden" name="locale" value="locale" i18n:attr="value"/>
-----------this is the key----------------^^^^^^
dictionary:
<message key="locale">en</message> (or fr in the french dictionary)

<fieldset class="etiquette" style="padding: 10px; font-weight:bold;
font-family:'Comic Sans MS'; color: #1E94D3 ; border: outset 5px;">

<legend><i18n:text>trier</i18n:text></legend>

<input TYPE="radio" NAME="tri"
VALUE="nom"><i18n:text>boutonNom</i18n:text></input>

<input TYPE="radio" NAME="tri"
VALUE="prénom"><i18n:text>boutonPrenom</i18n:text></input>

<input TYPE="radio" NAME="tri"
VALUE="titre"><i18n:text>boutonTitre</i18n:text></input>

<input TYPE="radio" NAME="tri"
VALUE="organisme"><i18n:text>boutonOrganisme</i18n:text></input>

</fieldset>

<br/>

<input TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" i18n:attr="value"/> //Second

attribute

ton internationalise: Soumettre la requête in French Submit the request

in

English

Same here:
<input TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" value="submit" i18n:attr="value"/>

dictionary:
<message key="submit">Soumettre la requête</message>

</FORM>

thanks in advance for your repsnses,

Best,

Cyril.

Joerg
