[Zope] Zope Internationalization Project
Hello ! The EuroZope project ( http://zdp.zope.org/projects/eurozope ) is searching for Zope enthusiasts that are interested in Zope Internationalization, and would like to join us in our effort to translate the Zope management interface into other languages. The translation has already started, and you may look at the following page for further information: http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zi18n We need translators, reviewers, and once we have finished that, we also need people to test the zzlocale product with the translated templates.

Re: [Zope] Internationalization
I only have a few internationalized pages, but I'm more than half-way
happy with a very simple approach:
1) an External Method "preferred_lang", which takes a list of possible
languages as argument, and returns the language from that list that
has the highest ranking in HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE. If there is no
hit, it returns the first language in the list.
import string
def preferred_lang(self,langs):
for lang in map(string.strip,string.split(self.HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE,',')):
if lang in langs:
return lang
return langs[0]
-
This External Method is available as "PreferredLanguage" on the
root folder.
2) In each internationalized page, I call the External Method with a
list of the available languages (it is not the same for all
pages), and then select the contents based on the result.
dtml-var standard_html_header
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('lang',PreferredLanguage(REQUEST,['en','nl']))"
dtml-if "lang=='nl'"
H2De Hooft Familie Webdienst/H2
dtml-else
H2The Hooft Family Web/H2
/dtml-if
etc
-
One advantage of this approach is that it keeps the different versions
together (making updates to the information easy to keep consistent).
One disadvantage of this approach is that it keeps the different
versions together (making it difficult to appoint different people to
maintaining the different languages), and another disadvantage is that
it clutters up the dtml source.
Suggestions for improvements always welcome.

Rob Hooft

[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. Any thoughts or hints? thanks, DR ___ 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 )

Any thoughts or hints? You could use a number of different 'language specific' folders and make your site acquire from them. There is a caveat, however, because you have to be careful to use acquisition in this way.

Aquisition should play well with internationalization. You would put the localization into the aquired objects. If the language information is e.g. in a cookie, you could use its value to select the various language variants of your object. If the language information is in the URL, I probably would extend the Zope folder class to a LangFolder. It would behave exactly likes a normal folder, but would add an "LANGUAGE" variable to the REQUEST object during traversal. To select the correct localization of an object, you could have language folders for each language containing the localizations for the respective language. If we assume, that all the id's are unique, DTML code similar to this can be used for selection: dtml-with "_[LANGUAGE]" dtml-var "_[id]" /dtml-with Dieter ___ 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 )
