Hi,

this may be slightly off-topic for the list .... say, you want to maintain
an application that provides several user interface languages (say,
English, French and German), are there any best practices on managing
labels and static text?

I'm thinking of having a simple look-up XML file that contains the labels
indexed by language. But then, the question is how to deal with plural
forms, interspersing dynamic bits (like "We have found " + 11 + " hits.")
and all the other fun bits. I know that this is a general headache, and
that there are solutions like gettext (and others?). Is there an
implementation for XML, by any chance?

Any experience with that in the context of MarkLogic?  Also, would a
look-up XML be efficient when used via xquery and xslt?

I'd be grateful for any pointers.

cheers,
Jakob.
