There's a number of different i18n packages on zope.org - ZBabel and Localiser (sp?) I think are two. See if either of them suit your needs. Anthony

"A. Giacomelli" wrote 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
