I imagine using acquisition could be of service here. For instance: http://localhost/foo Displays 'foo' in the default language. http://localhost/English/foo Tries to display 'foo' in English, if possible, otherwise displays 'sorry, can't translate'. http://localhost/Nederlands/foo Tries to display 'foo' in Dutch, if possible, otherwise displays 'sorry, kan niet vertalen'. Is this feasible? You'd need some consistent way to store HTML in more than a single language; perhaps a MultiLingualDTMLDocument, or something like that?
therefore, i'd like to suggest the creating of ZIP - the
ZOPE INTERNATIONALIZATION PROJECT
Cool! :) I'm interested, though I don't know how much input I can give given lack of time. I'll join any mailing list on this that's opened, though. Regards, Martijn
