Great, this is good news. Tim also suggested this back in March 2012, and a few of us indicated interest. Unfortunately it did not progress.

If you have any enhancements or tips for the static i18n documentation, then that would be useful: http://forrest.zones.apache.org/ft/build/forrest-seed/samples-c/i18n.html Bertrand commenced some work to improve i18n back in May 2006. I am not sure how far that progressed. I do see some open issues from that and in the "Internationalisation" JIRA component. There is also the possibility to improve stuff at Cocoon, as the 2.1 project is still alive. > We need the static version, as Forrest is not stable enough to be run > dynamically (at least not in our case). Would you provide any comments on that aspect in separate threads. We should be able to address some of those issues. > Feedback is welcome. Please suggest any of your colleagues to be committers at Forrest. The new skin could be added to the Forrest SVN early, and others could assist. -David > Sjur > >
