RE: Witango-Talk: multi-language website

[Dave Shelley]

Giorgio,   There is no C style switch/case statement in Witango. It would be nice though, I hope they include it someday. I implemented a switch/case years ago with custom tags when they were first developed.   We built a multi-language application once. We did it something like this. Say you have 100 different text messages in 4 languages. You put them all in a 100 x 4 domain scope array, domain$textMessages. When the user picks a language you set a user scope variable, user$language, to 1,2,3 or 4. Then you can display message 42 in language 3 (or any other combination) with one @var tag. Ie <@var domain$textMessages[<@var local$messageNum>,<@var user$language>]>   This way you don’t need to put the text in long if/elseif constructs. The messages can all be stored in a database or in a text file where they can be spell checked and grammar checked and corrected without touching your code.   Hope this helps Dave Shelley   -----Original Message----- From: Ferr� A&T - Giorgio Tassistro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: February 4, 2004 4:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Witango-Talk: multi-language website   Hi all, I have a little problem with a multi-language website. See this sample:   <@ASSIGN user$Lang "DE"> . .   <@IF "@@user$lang='UK'"> <@ASSIGN TextChoose "Choose before the number of passengers"> <@ELSEIF "@@user$lang='DE'"> <@ASSIGN TextChoose value="W�hlen sie zuerst die Anzahl der Passagieren aus" encoding=none> <@ELSE> <@ASSIGN TextChoose "E<@SQ> necessario in inserire prima i passeggeri"> </@IF> . . <script language=_javascript_> alert('<@VAR TextChoose encoding=_javascript_>'); </script>   If the language is deutch (lang='DE') the windows builds with "alert()" is "W&#228;hlen .... etc"   I choosed this alternative method :   alert(unscape('<@VAR TextChoose encoding=URL>'));   But is there another witango method ? Is There a "switch/case like C" method that i don't know ?
