Hello,

I would like to ask if the TRANSLATION extension to the NAMESPACE
response
is supported by dovecot.

Afaict, Oracle currently has the only implementation of the LANGUAGE
capability:

I haven't seen any plans for it in Dovecot so far and I think you are
one of the first to request it. :)

This is not the LANGUAGE extension - this is namespace translations
(I18NLEVEL=1).

Dovecot has supported this since 1.1 according to that page.

What gives you that idea? From http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5255#section-1:

The LANGUAGE extension allows the client to request a suitable language for protocol error messages and in combination with the NAMESPACE extension [RFC2342 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2342>] enables namespace translations.

My mistake.

I implemented this long ago, and I explicitly remember parsing the extended namespace translation data. I assume this testing was done against a Dovecot server. However, a look at the code indicates that the testing was from static data in our unit tests. Whoops. I stand corrected. This is part of LANGUAGE rather than I18NLEVEL=1.

LANGUAGE is pretty much worthless other than the namespace part ... who cares if the human-readable text is translated since, other than ALERT text, it is never shown to the end-user? That explains why nobody has implemented it.
