Hi All,

Got this weird error message:
  Module TAL.TALInterpreter, line 701, in translate
  Module Products.PageTemplates.TALES, line 261, in translate
  Module Products.Five.i18n, line 51, in translate
Module Products.PageTemplates.GlobalTranslationService, line 33, in translate
TypeError: expected string or buffer

...and eventually tracked it down to this code:

<meta name="description" content="blah"
      i18n:attributes="description"/>

The bug, of course, is that the i18:attributes should be content, not description, which doesn't exist.

This results in a None msgid, which PTS used to do something (I don't know whether it was sane or not, no errors) with but which raises the rather obscure error above.

I don't know if anything should be done here. Obviously it'd be nice if the error message was a bit nicer ("i18:attributes specified attribute 'description', which did not exist on tag 'meta' in /standard_template.pt") but it's a pretty obscure error.

If anyone with greater knowledge could implement the above without much pain, that'd be great. In any case, hopefully Google will catch this some time and save the next weary traveller who bumps into it a couple of hours ;-)

cheers,

Chris
