I'm also not a friend of the idea to have multiple copys of our ~50 mapfiles (~each with 1.000- 5.000 lines of configuration) and modify just all language effected parts - this is a huge rat tail. processing the lang-parameter is a nice idea DATA "geom from data where lang='%lang%'" # this could be a solution, but doesn't looks good when no lang parameter is defined LABELITEM "%LANG%HIGHWAY" # this could be a solution ----------- "gml_ID_alias" "%GML_ID_NO%" would bring to much informations into the client and the requests are not ogc confirm anymore. furthermore this could bring trouble with WFS-GetFeature-Requests. this is much better: "ows_title" "highways" # default layer title "ows_title_fr" "..." # france layer title "ows_group_title" "Infrastructure" # default group name "ows_group_title_fr" "..." # france group name "gml_ID_alias" "Number" # default alias "gml_NAME_alias_fr" '... # france alias NAME 'good' # default class name NAME_fr 'good' # france class name (oups, not looking good) Thanks a lot and regards, Daniel -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/mapserver-and-i18n-tp5607348p5611955.html Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
