I know it is a unconvetional way of managing language files, but i am working in a project wich has a desktop Python application and a web2py application and both of them will share translations.
I do not like symbolic links for this case because i don't know if it there is a way of setting them for all common operating systems at installation (anyway, i suppose there must be a pythonic way using the standard library). I think it would be simpler configuring the web2py app T object. I am trying to make that the web2py app load the language files from a folder in the desktop application, but i did not find a way of setting the T object folder so it can read the files and at the same time, the translations from the web application (from the admin interface) be written in those files. I've seen the folder T attribute but i think that setting this attribute isn't enough to solve the problem. Has anyone had a similar problem? Thanks
