hi, i would appreciate feedback from the list on the implementation of multilanguage applications in zope. my experience is in php, where i have been working wih 'dictionaries' based on associative arrays, e.g. key_water-> 'it' -> 'acqua', 'en' -> 'water', ... and then retrieving definitions via something like getdef($selected_language,key_water) other localization issues (e.g. changing international phone prefixes, currency etc.) are then dealt with by checking the $selected_language variable (typically associated to a cookie). i have read about the dtml-vary tag, but i would not see it impractical to implement database-based dictionaries close to the associative array thing. TIA for any comments, and regards -- ========================================= Andrea Giacomelli Centre for Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia Environment Group http://www.crs4.it/~andreag =========================================
