Hi List,
I am interrested in transforming my Forrest site from mono lingual to a multilingual site.
I saw examples on wich there is a tab fo each language.
It seem there is more elegant solution.
I have basic needs concerning the "skin" I used the default one (pelt).
Concerning the intenationalisation, the need is the folowing.
A)To be translated :
- the pages
- the tab
- the menu
B)To choose the language
- A list of language name (each name in it language exemple english deutsch ..) at the top or on the left.
- or a select with option at the top
When the user make a choice, the current page is displayed with the chosen language.
I read the in line documenation
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/howto/howto-view-install.html
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/howto/howto-view-dsl.html
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/howto/howto-view-contracts.html
To instal view, the begin of the operation is
cd {forrest-trunk}
svn up
What do we have install to be able to do it?
In the 0.8 documentation I can read
2.18. How can I internationalise (i18n) my content?
The i18n features of Forrest are still under development (as of 0.7) however there are some features available. For example, navigation menus can be i18n'd (see fresh-site for an example). Currently, work is underway to i18n skins
All internationalistation of tokens in, for example, the
skins and the menus, is carried out by the Cocoon
i18n Transformer. You can see an example of
how it works in the above linked issue.
But the Cocooni18n Transformer link
is broken.
For the updating of the tab and the
menu the core work seems to be the updating of the site2xhtml.xsl.
What is possible in version 0.7? How
to do it?
What is possible in version 0.8? How
to do it?
What will be possible in version 0.8?
How to do it?
Has any Forrest user a site with the
I18n active?
Paul
