Re: [Zope] Multiple Languages
I posted a similar question here a few days ago, subject line Internationalization. The responses were less than overwhelming and although I greatly appreciated the suggestions from the people who did respond it was quite apparent that the problem of multilingual sites has not been solved gracefully yet. The best idea we came up with so far, which was also one of the suggestions, is to either let the user select a language or more preferably examine the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE variable in the REQUEST space. based on it's setting we change a property of the top level folder: dtml-if "REQUEST['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'][:2]=='it'" dtml-call "top.manage_changeProperties(LANG_PATH='/top/Italian/ActualPages/')" dtml-else dtml-call "top.manage_changeProperties(LANG_PATH='/top/English/ActualPages/')" /dtml-if which as you can see adjusts the acquisition path to traverse through a language specific folder. Next on each page instead of text we use dtml methods that hold text: dtml-var standard_html_header h2dtml-var title_or_id/h2 pdtml-var someText dtml-var id dtml-var moreText./p form action="thisForm" input type=submit /form dtml-var standard_html_footer Notice there isn't any plain text on the page, but that the text to be render is in the variables someText and moreText. I would suggest using variable names that are made up from the text to be displayed (in the native language of the developer). For example say the text to be displayed is: "Customer Contact Information" the variable name maybe dtml-var tCustContactInfo. Prepending the 't' tells me that this is a text holder. Lastly in the folder English and Italian, in this example, we have placed dtml methods someText and moreText with the appropriate translations in them. The correct language is rendered automagically based on the user choice we preferred this to the alternative of placing the translations in the page because to add another language, say German, when the translations are on each page ,would require touching every page in the site. since we have close to a thousand pages, we found this to be unacceptable. In the system I have outlined above all that would be required would be to copy the english folder to a german folder and translate each method into german and poof you have added another language hope this helps , DR Christian Zagrodnick wrote: Tino Wildenhain wrote: Christian Zagrodnick wrote: has anybody figured out how to make a zope website multilingual? I have to make a website in German and English - but the database stuff etc. is all the same. Did anybody do that? somewhat. I have the code to tell what version of the page is appropriate with given browser-configuration (language-preferences) and availability. We have now to make a product to hold the different versions of documents for each language. This would be a solution... The problem is to split the design/program from the content I think. AFAIK xml supports multiple languages in one file - perhaps we should think about this -- Christian Zagrodnick - Progressive Media Production http://www.promp.de/ Die Haftung ist auf das Gesellschaftsvermoegen beschraenkt. ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] Generating PDF: Use ZpdfDocument or Reportlab?
Yes we have written a faily extensively billing system that uses reportlab to generate the equipment orders in pdf format. We have made a few tweaks here and there to reportlab but in general it works quite well. Dan Jonathan wrote: Hi all, I currently have ZpdfDocument installed but I just stumbled across the Reportlab package which seems to offer a much more extensive set of features. The advantage of ZpdfDocument is that it is already integrated with Zope, but since Reportlab is Python based it shouldn't be too hard to integrate that as well. Anyone using Reportlab with Zope yet?

[Zope] how to get email delivery errors
Our site allows supervisors to email orders back to sales reps. We have this working very well. The problem is if the supervisor types in an non-existant email address we aren't getting Mail System Error - Returned Mail messages like you would from other email apps such as Netscape Messenger. Does anyone know how to accomplish this.

Re: [Zope] How-to Bypass DTML Code?
I think the correct syntax is (at least for my my install of zope): lt;dtml-var foogt; -- this rendersdtml-var foo not : gt;dtml-var foolt; -- where as this renders dtml-var foo Dan Chris McDonough wrote: Use gt;dtml-var foolt; instead of dtml-var foo -Original Message- From: Nestor A.

[Zope] Internationalization 2nd post
How are my fellow Zopers handling Internationalization, especially text. We have a site that is composed of several hunderd pages. We don't use classes but we have made heavy use of aquistion though. For example we have one back button that is aquired thoughout the site etc etc. Basically if the functionality (or code) is used in more than one place it has been but into a method and aquired.
