Hi, Agent.
I saw t/TestApp/t/i18n-standalone.t and wondered: was it really
possible to internationalize texts just by changing Accept-Language
header?
Yes, of course. Please take a look at the following paragraph quoted
from Locale::Maketext's POD, upon which Jifty::I18N is currently
depending:
When get_handle is called with an empty parameter list, magic happens:
If get_handle senses that it's running in program that was invoked
as a CGI, then it tries to get language-tags out of the environment
variable ``HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'', and it pretends that those were the
languages passed as parameters to get_handle.
Once we have L10N.Lang set in config.yml, Jifty::I18N will feed that
list to get_handle instead of an empty list, and we won't get the
"magic" part mentioned above. Our app's interface language is thus
"fixed", regardless of the browser user's actual locale settings. For
this reason, it is actually the server's L10N, instead of the end
user's L10N.
I remember sometime last year (maybe July, when I was writing some
Jifty introduction for a magazine) L10N: PoDir's behavior was
somewhat changed, and I rewrote its value for my sample application.
So, make sure first you have installed Jifty properly, especially if
you're trying Jifty on Win32 (just "svn co ..." is not enough if you
have once installed Jifty with ppm. Do "nmake/dmake install" to update
your site lib). And then, set Lang and PoDir explicitly in your app's
etc/config.yml like:
framework:
L10N:
Lang: zh-tw
PoDir: share/po
Yeah, that's exactly what I've been doing here. But I want real "I18N"
on Win32. :)
At least just with these, I can see zh-tw-ized Jifty on my Win32 box,
with no code changes.
*Nod* This is already working on Windows, but not quite enough, I think.
I think the above i18n test is for something quite different. It sure
has some merit of its own, though.
GREAT merit. :)
Thanks!
Agent
