Hi, As per the mail below, I am looking at ways to handle merging of localisation properties and had the idea of using sequences of resource bundles.
Does this sound like the correct approach? Is this something that would be acceptable in fulcrum/turbine 3? I could submit patches for this. I see in fulcrum there is support for multiple resource bundles - perhaps a switch to allow this list to be used as a sequence of bundles for lookups? Alternatively, via a new property which lists the bundle sequence to be used for default lookup processing. The getString methods would then follow the sequence of bundles to find a resource, as sketched out below.
