<wicket:message key="my-key">Default value</wicket:message>
<input wicket:message="attrName=my-key" type=.../>
Heh, excellent, I think the above two will cover pretty much the cases
where it doesn't fit do develop a new component just to change a message
based on the locale.
Thanks
As wicket core is very much pluggable, it can easily be added / removed.

I think <wicket:message key=".."/> would fit well with our other wicket

IMHO such an addition would be very useful.

You mean for tag text, correct? <span wicket:message=" hello.message" />
What do you think about <wicket:message key=".."/>. Than it is clear
that the whole label is wicket specific,
<span wicket:message="key"> is a bit dangerous because how would we
handle <span wicket:id="myLabel" wicket:message="key">?

I'm not sure this makes sense. wicket:id is not a text to be displayed
anywhere. It is a name which identifies a component. It definitely
won't work.
Actually, maybe this is not the solution but a way to specify i18n
message keys directly in the html through a wicket tag would be VERY
handy. Now, in a project I'm working on, for a i18n input form, half
of
the form elements are i18n labels that I add to the form in java code.
Instead of add(new I18nLabel("lbl", "hello.mesage")) and <span
wicket:id="lbl" /> it would be more handy to have 'something like'
<span
wicket:message=" hello.message" ></span> or <wicket:message
key="hello.message" />, w/o poluting java code with i18n keys if it's
not necessary (like when you need to compose complex i18n messages
which would be done from the code).
Just a thought :-) (or maybe I am too intoxicated with
Struts/Webwork/SpringMVC :-D. I am trying to get rid of it you know.)
Even better would be that it would recognize the message:label
anywhere
in
the HTML. So for example, you could have:
<input type="submit" value="message: label.submit" />
That I think is possible. Acutally you can do it today already without
any changes to the core. You need to develop a IMarkupFilter and
append it to the list of existing ones invoked by MarkupFilter.
However you won't be able to handle "message: ...." within a tag body;
only tag attributes. How does Tapestry do it for body text?
An other option would be to run a kind of text based (not xml based)
pre-processor (like we do merging of inherited markup) prior to adding
the markup to the cache.
How likely is it that you'll find "message:" and it is not intended to
be a i18n text? How to escape it?
Lets say your message must contain a reference some other data, e.g.
"...${price}...". That won't be possible either. Only simple text. As
AttributeModifier is already able to handle it, "message:.." would be
for easy and straight forward replacements only, and AttributeModifer
to cover everything else.
Ah, and of course you loose preview capabilities, as the designer
won't the real message, he'd see "message:..." only.
And it might not the perfekt solution for high-speed up, because of
the (little) performance penalties involved. For high-speed up you can
still have myPage_en.html; myPage_nl.html etc may which as well cover
minor changes in the layout due to labels being of differents length;
right-to-left languages etc.

In my app I never hard-code text so I'm constantly adding Labels to

similar

Tapestry,
you can do this: title="message:page-title", where page-title is the
lookup
into the property file.

Thoughts?
