IMO, if a template an element with both i18n:translate and tal:content and the value inserted is not a message id, the template's domain will be used. This seems like a bad idea. It can hide failures to provide message ids because everything ultimately gets a domain. I'm working on tools to help people see when text hasn't been internationalized and the implicit use of of the template's domain makes these tools less useful. Basically, the domain given in the template source applies to the source only and shouldn't be used for data coming from elsewhere. I propose that we should never use the templates domain when inserting data via tal:content. Note however, if the tal expression results in the use of the template's example text, the templates domain should be used. Thoughts? Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered!
