This is pretty much the only option, because translators and programmers are different people. Translators can deal with simple text files with one message string per line and not much else. You can't hire a translation firm and tell them "translate this Haskell module for me". You can treat message strings as declarations in a specialised language. This language can be typed, and you could theoretically typecheck it against your Haskell program using specialised tools. But translators need to see simple readable message strings. -- anatoli t. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
