Hello all, I'm with the Government of Canada, which has french and english as the official languages. We're in the process of repairing our english-only site, but I wanted to know the most appropriately RESTful way of specifying language preferences.
One way is to include a /$LOCALE/ into the URL, but it doesn't sound RESTful since it doesn't necessarily apply to the resource in that way. Adding it as a query parameter sounds relatively safe, though. Using the browser preference is also an option. Any thoughts on this? Opinions from others who have actually implemented it? Something that could lead to a nice dictionary lookup to get the translated text is also preferable. I found this link that RebelTix has: http://blog.rebeltix.com/2011/03/internationalization-in-a-restful-way/ Many thanks! I'm enjoying my copy of the Restlet In Action book. Dustin -- Dustin N.
