To me that solution sounds brilliant. The complexity is then still
contained at one place.
But please don't overload the behavior for 'string', rather use some
other name.
Like 'phrase' (to distingish it with the possible not human-readable
string datatype).
This would also remove all the need for this.tr calls. This special
property would just try to lookup a translation, or, if unavailable,
just the expression as is. So, if myWidget has a property called name
of type 'phrase', i could just do:
myWidget.setName("Trashcan");
myWidget.getName(); // returns translated string
greetins,
Ralf.
