Re: i18n usage

[Helena Edelson]

Hi, It doesn't make sense to have to add this: modify cli.xconf and add this line: <uri type=”insert” src-prefix=”" src="" follow-links=”false” dest=”/var/tmp/fs/build/i18n/*.en” /> if you are in a live web environment - if you need mulitiple languages. If forrest.properties setting is project.i18n=true, and a user-client browser is language n, is it only that we need to create all the catalogues, menus and tabs for x lanuages we will support and the browser does the rest - i.e. translate the document portion of the page ? Also I can not find anything difinitive on modifying sitemap to handle i18n I see forrest.xmap does a few things, I see the F7 site2html.xsl includes   xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" exclude-result-prefixes="i18n" in the xsl:stylesheet declaration so I am not sure what a dev needs to do on the config side, as it seems most of the work is done already in the guts of forrest itself. thank you, helena Helena Edelson wrote: Hi, I tested the i18n features of forrest-0.7-dev - made a new dir - fresh forrest seed - turned forrest.i18n on - added index_es.xml to .../xdocs/ - (menu_es.xml, languages_es.xml, tabs_es.xml in distro) - index.xml file was renamed  index_es.xml modified index_es.xml to display some Spanish text Cheche's blog suggests to do this which I did as well: added project.configfile=/var/tmp/fs/cli.xconf to forrest.properties modify cli.xconf and add this line: <uri type=”insert” src-prefix=”" src="" follow-links=”false” dest=”/var/tmp/fs/build/i18n/*.en” />   I looked in my build/tmp/projfilters.properties and found that even though I set project.i18n=true in forrest.properties, ant projfilters.properties output is project.i18n=false. Why might this be? My index_es.html is served (locale in browser set to 'es') yet the menu_es.xml does not. I know from mail-archives and others that translation of both menu and doc can work. embarrasing question: Is it the case that if we want multiple languages to be supported, we have to supply the translations per document page? Nothing will automatically translate for the app like how the online translation engines do it? Would be great to plug something like that in and simply do: localhost:8888/index.html?locale=es or localhost:8888/index.html?locale=fr cheers, helena David Crossley wrote: Ross Gardler wrote: Helena Edelson wrote: i am also working on i18n. when i figure it out, i was thinking it might be help ful to write a how to. everything so far seems fractured in terms of the steps to take to implement. there are many if then's and info is everywhere, from docs to jira to cocoon docs.. te a start is what is needed. Yes, use one catalogue file per language. Yes we do need to bring it all together in the forrest docs. -David
