You can also use the ExtJS style of managing locale/language settings.
if you look at the ExtJS locale files (ext-lang-XX.js) they change the
default text properties in the component's prototype to a locale specific
string.
in the SimplePrint example, rather than set the properties to the OL i18n
dictionary entry at instantiation, the ExtJS language file would do the
following:
if(GeoExt.ux.SimplePrint){
Ext.apply(GeoExt.ux.SimplePrint.prototype, {
dpiText : <String in your language here>,
rotationText: <String in your language here>,
etc...
})
}
Both approaches have their merits. As GeoExt is dependant on OL then it
seems like there may be some way to take the best parts of both approaches.
