1.3 tries to make translating completely transparent. I wanted to
avoid aggregating the i18n catalogues, and also remove the need for
the i18n Transformer in XMAPs, so i18n translation will be merged into
the Serializers. Each module translates as the document is passed
around. No aggregation. No extra lines in the XMAPs. Each module
can have its own i18n, and anything not translated passes up to the
next level.
i had thought about this approach as well, in order to allow modules to
introduce their own message keys and just localize those before the
content is handed back to the publication pipeline, but i could not
think of a way to do that without modifying the I18nTransformer.
iiuc, its default behaviour would have to be changed - currently it
either puts in the "untranslated" string or displays the i18n element
content. to accomodate your approach, it must leave those i18n tags
alone. the big downside is that this requires an extra clean-up step
before xhtml serializing, since any missing messages would otherwise
produce incorrect xhtml.
This will incur some overhead, but it should be minimal, and more than
offset the issues of finding all the files and translation key
collisions.
nice if it can be done.
I had not thought about the filenames, planning to stay
backwards-compatible with 1.2. But I like the suggestion they could
be named better. After almost a minute of thought, the files will
probably be in an "i18n" subdirectory of each Module, and be named
"en.xml", "de.xml", "ru.xml", etc. So the "live" module uses:
{pub}/modules/live/i18n/en.xml
{pub}/modules/live/i18n/de.xml
you will have to hack the I18nTranslator even more to do that.
currently, you pass it a catalogue basename like "foo", and if the
requested locale is "de_CH", it will try to locate first foo_de_DE.xml,
then foo_de.xml and finally foo.xml. your scheme would mean an empty
basename...
