RE: [Zope] LiveLink "converters"
Hi - The converters are easier than people might think... Once you get the data sucked down into an xml file - there are different java classes (no reason they couldnt be python-ized) to build the xml into a PDF etc. I am curious about the internationalization of the zope interface, but more importantly is having provisions to have a ZOPE'ed site be presented in MANY languages. Havent looked this up yet. But, to do it right - it can get pretty tricky. Java has books and books on the subject. But, again with Python - since everything is always easier in Python :) - it probably is 1% of the lines of Java code etc... Hmmm?

<P><FONT SIZE=2>We just got a demo of LiveLink, a document manager system. They have an Intranet module wich is REALLY like the Zope one. In fact, it's almost de same! I found a number of similar functionalities between them, but there is a couple of features in LiveLink wich I found interesting:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>- If a user upload a document, the programmer can use it directly. There are automatics converters for many formats: PDF to HTML, Excel to HTML, Word to HTML, Word to PDF, etc. You can develop your own converters if tou want.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> Example: Someone upload a report in Excel. In your website, you can put a link to a PDF version, or show it in HTML automatically! </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>- When a user is logged, he sees only the documents he can manage! Much simpler interface! </FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>- The interface is internalionalized. </FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>So, I guest my questions are: </FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2> - Any plan for a Zope interface internationalisation ? I know, we could translate the interface ourself, but we want to upgrade sometimes...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> - Any plan for "converters" ? I think it would be fairly easy, no? </FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2> - Could hiding unauthorized objects been possible? I know that I can manage that in DTML, but I mean in the default management interface?</FONT></P>
