Juan Jose Pablos commented on FOR-18: ------------------------------------- I put some information about how to create static site with forrest here: http://casa.che-che.com/blog/2005/05/10/internalization-a-site-using-forrest-07-dev/ > support multiple languages (i18n) > --------------------------------- > > Key: FOR-18 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-18 > Project: Forrest > Type: New Feature > Components: Core operations > Reporter: Ralf Hauser > Assignee: Juan Jose Pablos > Priority: Critical > Attachments: multLang.zip > > In my current environment to develop static mulitlingual web-sites, I use an > ant build.xml and the m4 macro preprocessor to achieve the following (sample): > 1) index.en.m4 gets converted to index.en.html > The *.en.m4 contains all language dependent text (similarly *.de.m4 for > German) and includes > index.m4 that contains the page's content layout. > [(^\.)+].m4 includes sitedef.m4 where I define all global parts of the > website (e.g. navigation structure, unique content e.g. phone numbers, > filenames, etc.). This in turn includes a sitedefs.en or sitedef.de, ... > respectively for global, language dependent definitions. > 2) Dependencies > a) upon change of [(^\.)+].m4, all depending *.*LANG*.html get rebuilt > b) upon change of sitedef.m4, build.xml, and alike all *.html gets rebuilt > c) upon change of sitedefs.en all *.en.html get rebuilt. > Obviously, I could use the exact same approach to create .xml whereever I > created .html before, but my long-term goal is to get rid of m4. Has anybody > already put some thought into how this would be done with forrest? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
