The i18n Transformer looks good for dealing with internationalization,
however...
I am very confused regarding HOW i get the appropriate country_locale
parameters passed dynamically?
I am reading the "Cocoon developers handbook" which samples do not seem to
work with cocoon 2.1.4.
I configure sitemap with:
<map:transformer name="i18n"
src="org.apache.cocoon.transformation.I18nTransformer">
<catalogue-name>messages</catalogue-name>
<catalogue-location>translations</catalogue-location>
<untranslated-text>untranslated</untranslated-text>
<cache-at-startup>true</cache-at-startup>
</map:transformer>
then add it to pipeline:
<map:match pattern="*">
<map:generate src="blah/{1}.xml"/>
<map:transform type="i18n"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
In this book it's stated that adding the request parameter of
"?locale=fr_ca" should display the appropriate translation automatically,
but it does not function this way as far as i can see. (and yes - I do have
the correct xmlns in my source doc, and messages/translations set up
correctly)
I do not see anything here that deals with sending through the locale /
country based on the users browser setting or OS settings... Help!
Thank You all Cocoon users for your feedback.
