.... Localizer and ZBabel do not solve this problem. They solve the programmer issues. These tools haven't really recognized the translator role and how they work. They are not Zopatists and not any kind of Zope editor, they work in other companies and use their own tools and XML standards. If we want Zope to be a real Multilingual Content Management Tool then it would be a good choice to adabt Zope to the standards used in these translations tools. I have not looked into Localizer or ZBabel in detail.

However, as I understand them, they work with message catalogs (maintained, e.g. in a database). If this is true, you simply export these catalogs in a format your translators like, let them be translated and reimport.

If all text was kept in a message catalog then yes. This would be the way to go. I think ZBabel keeps all translated text in a central database while Localizer keeps the text tight together with the object instances ... there are pro and contra for both solutions ... I will probably implement some product that export/import Localizer objects to XLIFF. That would be the best solution I think. Let's see if this christmas holiday we'll help us come up with other ideas ;-) Thanks for your help, Antonio

Dieter
