not following this thread but FYI i won't be using XML for making the admin bits i18n, nothing XML is "standard" yet (XLIFF is just popular but not nearly as popular as resource bundles, which are more or less the standard for java i18n work).
I don't see why RB's can't be used to pull in the localised strings for the tabs described in the XML file. The XML file is only used for defining the structure. The code that parses the XML can call the rb CFC to get the relevant strings.
this is what i'm doing: - everything's unicode/utf-8 - trying like heck to follow i18n good practices - i'm using straight up java resource bundles (using escaped ansi, nobody's messing with any codepages here if i can help it). these are delivered with one of two flavors of rb CFC, one for folks with access to classpaths (you can dump the rb files in any dir on the classpath & the rb CFC will find it) or one that needs a full path to the rb files for those w/out access to the classpath. - all dates/times are i18n based on the gregorian calendar, maybe with options for the other calendars i know how to handle (buddhist, chinese, hebrew, islamic & japanese). i say "maybe", because the current date logic will get nuked pretty badly & require pretty extensive work (i think).
Sounds great, it's just a shame that you're the only expert to work on them!
