Hi
I have devloped an application, though, not in turbine that had 3 languages
associated with it.
We created a Properties file that contained properties similar to this :
DE_TITLE=Title in german
FR_TITLE=Title in French
EN_TITLE=Title in English
These properties were read in added to the session. When a user logged in
they had a language field in the User table which was added to that users
session upon login.
I suggest in Turbine that in the doBuildTemplate method of the template in
question you retrieve the elements from the properties and place them into
the context.
String lang = (String) session.getAttribute("UserLanguage");
Properties props = (Properties) session.getAttribute("LangaugeProperties");
String title = props.getProperty(lang + "_TITLE");
Then add this to the context
context.put("title",Title);
Now in your template you can display the title in the language of the
current user.
I know this may not be a very elegant solution but it worked and the
customer was very happy with the solution.
