i18n language override menu
---------------------------
Key: FOR-934
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-934
Project: Forrest
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Dispatcher (aka views), Internationalisation (i18n)
Affects Versions: 0.8-dev
Reporter: Sjur N. Moshagen
Attached is a dispatcher contract with support files. It will return a list of
alternative languages available for a given document. The list is of the form:
<!--+ |start language list +-->
<span>
<a href="?locale=en">en</a>
</span>
<span>
<a href="?locale=fi">fi</a>
</span>
<span>
<a href="?locale=nb">nb</a>
</span>
<span class="selected">se</span>
<span>
<a href="?locale=smj">smj</a>
</span>
<!--+ |end language list +-->
It handles filenames following this scheme (convention is already established
for Forrest):
document.XY.extension (XY = locale/language of document)
document.extension (fallback document)
If there is a fallback document, the contract will try to look inside the
document to see if it can find an @xml:lang or @lang attribute to associate a
language with the fallback document.
The contract returns a list of available languages, including the one being
displayed. The displayed language is marked with @class="selected" in the
output html.
If there is only one document available (=no alternating languages), the
contract only returns three comments (start, end, and a comment stating that
there's no alternative).
