Hello,
This is the first time I posted here, although I've been lurking for = while. I've seen in the past some questions regarding how to have = multi-language templates on a site, but I've yet to see anyone who = wanted to provide translation for the e-mails themselves. What I need to do is provide an easy way for users to translate the = e-mails they receive. The e-mails will either be in spanish or english = and will need to be translated to a foreign language. Typically the = spanish speaking letters will arrive from one group of users, and the = english speaking will arrive from another. I think we can safely assume = they'll be identifible from each other. At first I was thinking the easy way to this would be to pass the = URL of the message being read out to a translating site such as Systran = or Babelfish. This doesn't look like it's much of a possibility because = when that happens systran ends up translating a login page - so I'm = assuming that IMail is checking the IP address of the user who's reading = mail. So these are my thoughts at this point. I could try and provide a = language translator through an SMTP hook and deliver the messages = pre-delivered. The problem with this is I'm not sure if any of the = language translation software would allow me to execute it through a = script. Anyone have any experience with this? The 2nd choice is to modify the templates so they'll somehow work = with this in a reasonable manner. One thought I had on this was maybe = using <!--IMAIL.MailMessageWithoutHeader--> in twice somewhere in the = templates, once having it to be displayed and maybe once having it in = JavaScript. Of course, the problem with this is the message has lots of = new-lines in it. Do any of you have any thoughts on what a good solution for this = would be? Sincerely,
