Re: [Wicket-user] i18n messages in HTML

[Igor Vaynberg]

You cannot really compare wicket to tapestry. Although they are both component oriented frameworks, they have completely different approaches. In wicket the focus is on java code not on the template. Wicket templates are simple and limited (purposefully) where as tapestry allows for a lot more customization from within the template. Wicket's approach makes sure all your logic is kept in code. That is the wicket way.

Well, I guess not being able to do it in _javascript_ would be ok, but I think there definitely needs to be a way to do it in attributes.

Here is the link for how Tapestry 4.0 does it: http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/UsersGuide/localization.html

No, that was not the intend and I don't like it either.
<wicket:message ..> would be a normal XML tag. To retrieve a i18n
message for a tag attribute I'd go for <input type="button"
value="message:key='labelKey'/>"/>.

The following is a bit tricky and I'm not sure how well it'll realy
work, because you kind of have to analyze JS.
<script>
    alert("message:key='labelKey'/>");
</script>
