I am starting the design of a Cocoon based application

Having just read the documentation about the I18N
Transformer, I have the following question:
What is the best way for me to I18N an app when it is
going to work only in one language for a while.
Should I use the I18N tags, but not define a
catalogue? Won't it then default to the values
without any translation as a lookup into the catalogue
won't find a matching key or text?
Or is this the case only when I use the i18n:key attr
as in:
<i18n:text i18n:key="key_text">Default
value</i18n:text>
Hi,
I'm using now the following method which uses the text
itself as key:
<i18n:text>show statistics</i18n:text>
If you don't specify a default value for untranslated
text in the transformer's definition (map:transformers
section in the sitemap) then the text stays as it is.
Of course specifying a key (like in your example) is
also an option - just ensure that you don't specify a
value for untranslated text.
HTH,
Gerald
