Dear list members,
I am newbie/begineer in area of zope2 + i18n/L10n so please excuse me if this topic has already been discussed on the list, in that case can some one please point me to the past discussions/threads.
After reading some basics about i18n+zope2, I have tried following - (zope version - Zope 2.9.7-final, python 2.4.4, win32 and Placeless Translation Service - 1.3.7)
Created simple page template - <html> <body> <span i18n:domain="PlacelessTranslationService" i18n:translate="Reload this catalog"> Reload this catalog </span> </body> </html>
I would expect either: i18n:translate="" so that the string behind it ends up in the .pot file (and you don't repeat yourself needlessly; also think what would happen when you change one string but forget to change the other). Or: i18n:translate="reload_this_catalog" or some other unique message id. But the above code should work. Well, using PlacelessTranslationService as i18n:domain is strange. You should use the name of your own product/package.
Modified language preferences for browsers - (Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.4 and MS-IE 7.0.5730.11) to set German [de] as primary langage.
When I viewed above page in firfox got the corresponing german translation (Diesen Katalog neu einlesen) as specified in related .po file. But with MS-IE, no luck, gives same string - Reload this catalog
So is it browser specific/dependable ?
It should not. Do you have a way to check which browser headers are sent by IE and firefox and if they differ in the language preference?
Another thing I tried is adding attribute i18n:target="cs", but it seems to have no effect, firefox gives german translation as per language settings as MS-IE gives same string - Reload this catalog
Does it means that attribute target is not supported ? Is there any list/documentation about supported i18n attributes ?
I have never seen that attribute. From the top of my head, these i18n attributes are used in zope: translate, domain, name and attributes.
Also I was not able to find references/examples for DTML, does DTML supports i18n/L10n ?
No. At least, I do not think so, and this grep in a buildout did not return any relevant results: grep i18n $(find . -name '*dtml') -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ Work | http://zestsoftware.nl/ "This is your day, don't let them take it away." [Barlow Girl]
