Default language in forrest.properties
--------------------------------------
Key: FOR-580
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-580
Project: Forrest
Type: New Feature
Components: Core operations
Versions: 0.8-dev
Reporter: Sjur N. Moshagen
When developing a multilingual site, it would be beneficial if the
default/fallback language could be configured from forrest.properties. This
would imply that, given 'no' as fallback, one of the following two scenarios
would be true:
1)
files: index.xml, index_es.xml, index_en.xml
Requests for both index.html and index_no.html would generate the returned page
from index.xml
2)
files: index_no.xml, index_es.xml, index_en.xml
Requests for both index.html and index_no.html would generate the returned page
from index_no.xml
In both cases the end result would be that there would be no need to maintain
more than one file for the fallback language.
I would prefer the second alternative just for the sake of symmetry and
equality of languages. It has the additional benefit of making it very easy to
change the default/fallback language - just change the forrest.properties
setting. The second alternative would also make it easier to create a language
override menu, as all the available languages/locales would be encoded
explicitly in the file name.
