It's not that hard to make dynamic translations loading, and make them working (almost) the same way as google static i18n.
We adandoned google static i18n because of compile time - we have huge app, and having 6 languages * 5 browsers = 30 different bundles was killer shot. This can be achieved with Generators - you need to create JSON-like file with all strings, then load in to the client, then (through JSNI) give access to these loaded strings. That's all. However, this way of doing things has some drawbacks as well: 1. Each client does 2nd request for translation. So, we have 2-step GWT bootstrap and then 1 more asyncRequest for the constants loading. 2. This is additional work noone wants to do for free :) On Sep 9, 3:18 pm, mars1412 <[email protected]> wrote: > > After some research I'm thinking maybe we should use the gwt dynamic > > translations (somewhat like you mention mars1412), but this implies > > that all language strings of the application should be transferred all > > at once and then will be stored as a javascript variable on the > > client.
