That's definitely the way I would have done the translate.xqy module if maps had been available in the server at the time,

Mine is more of a bundle concept. It looks like in the implementation Mike mentioned that versions of text in the various languages are all stored in the same XML document. In my code there are separate 'bundles' for each language that look like the following: <i18n locale="en_US" id="general"> <map:map xmlns:map="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/map"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <map:entry key="greeting"> <map:value xsi:type="xs:string">hello</map:value> </map:entry> <map:entry key="farewell"> <map:value xsi:type="xs:string">goodbye</map:value> </map:entry> </map:map> </i18n> Even now looking at that, not sure why I didn't use the xml:lang attribute instead locale. There is always something that can be tweaked... -Ryan Dew On Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 2:52 PM, Jakob Fix <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Thanks Michael and Ryan, I think this is what I'm looking for. Ryan, any chance to see a schema of the map:map object, is it inspired by the translate.xqy Michael mentioned? Or based on a "bundle" concept that is generally known (except by me ;-))? Looking forward to forking it! cheers, Jakob.

It's undocumented and may not do everything you want, but it might offer some ideas. For a large lookup-table I would consider using map:map XML serialization. That way you can build the map quickly from stored XML, and lookups via map:get will be very fast. For even more speed you could cache the map in a server-field, with versioning to handle updates. -- Mike On 19 Feb 2013, at 07:16 , Jakob Fix <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > 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.
