If you are using WebMacro under Turbine you have two major choices
provided to you by the WebMacro layer for low layer localization:
1. write a localization filter using the filtering API. this gives
you an opportunity to format objects as they are being rendered
in the template: your code could check the type of the class
and invoke an appropriate formatter, or replace the object
with a different object. you get to see the locale of the user
when you execute this filter.
2. create localizable objects in your application and have them
implement the interface org.webmacro.Macro. Your objects will
then have their write() method called when they are rendered in
the template. Again you will be able to check the users locale and
write a different version of your object depending on what you
see there.
For high layer localization a useful strategy is to arrange to have a
different template returned depending on your locale. You probably
want to do this as well as some lower level solution since in a
typical application you have to deal with both the conversion of
individual strings and objects as well as differences in layout at
the page level.
