I wrote a decent stand-alone I18n implementation a while back. I think
you're going after the same thing I was. You're free to use it if you
please.
Here is the table structure I use:
Describing: I18N
----------------
ID,N,VARCHAR2,255,null,null
LANG,N,VARCHAR2,255,null,null
NS,N,VARCHAR2,255,null,null
TEXT,Y,VARCHAR2,4000,null,null
ID for the id, LANG for the W3C language code, NS for the namespace (ie
MyApp/MyJSP.jsp) and TEXT for the user-customizable text.
Attached is the interface code, with some samples in the Javadoc comments.
Read I18n.java.
Ttyl,

Hi everybody,
hi Kintzel.
If I had enough time to develop such a solution (for there are no
problems, but only solutions;) ), i would only save references to
resources in db instead of real text.
have a resource table with ids and optionally names. then have a
language table with ids and optionally names. then have a table
language_resources with resource id, language id and the real text.
in the table link in the column description you only have a reference to
the id of the resources table.
then you can decide, whether you have a property, or let the user
decide, which language to use. With the combination of language id and
resource id you know the row of language_resources you have to fetch.
simple criteria there.
But there is one factor you have to think about. This method is pretty
time intensive. You can surely also use the internationalisation service
(i18n) that comes with turbine, but i didnīt try that.
Good luck and have fun!
kind regards
Alex Hepp
