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
Why are you looking at views? Views are an indevelopment feature and
have nothing to do (directly) with i18n.
cd {forrest-trunk}
svn up
What do we have install to be able to do it?
If you want to work with SVN head:
http://forrest.apache.org/contrib.html#cvshowto
In the 0.8 documentation I can read
*2.18. How can I internationalise (i18n) my content?*
<http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/faq.html#i18n-menu>
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_ <http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-506> to i18n skins
All internationalistation of tokens in, for example, the skins and the
menus, is carried out by the _Cocoon i18n Transformer_
<http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/transformers/i18n-transformer.html>.
You can see an example of how it works in the above linked issue.
But the Cocooni18n Transformer link is broken.
The correct link is now
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/i18nTransformer.html
(I've updated the docs, thanks for letting us know).
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?
Search the user archives [1], all these questions, and more are answered
in recent discussions here. In particular you may like to look for
threads in whic Helena has participated, she has done much work on
pulling together the various bits of knowledge we have.
If, after reading the archives, you have any specific questions about
how to achieve stuff we will be better positioned to help you, but
general questions like those above are very difficult to answer in the
limited time the volunteers here have.
