[Zope-dev] Zope Exceptions and translation

[Dirk Datzert]

Hi,

we at ZBabel have to same problems with translating the Exceptions of Products.
And my personal best solution is to use the translate-Method direct in the
Python-Code which raises the Exceptions. That works for every text directly in
the Python Code.

Regards
Dirk
