One of the core methodological ideas behind the book is to use real world examples from open source applications wherever possible, and so far these examples are not yet internationalized.
Beyond that, internationalization in all examples is a bad idea because it forces complexity into the earlier examples, so there isn't an easy flow of new ideas for the reader. So, while I share the desire to have internationalization be more in the core of the book, I don't believe we can include internationalization in all the examples without making the book more difficult to use. --Mark On 3/1/06, Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "Mark Ramm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > Well, I'm trying to use real-world code in the Programming TurboGears > > book to show TurboGears internatonalization. > > > > If nessisary I will internationalize and existing app, or create a > > simple sample app, but it would be nice to be able to use real-world > > code here too. > > IMHO, all examples in the book should present I18N.
