[Zope] zope-2.8, i18n and global locales catalog

[Sascha Ottolski]

Hi,

does anybody know if and how I could build a global locales catalog in 
zope-2.8? I'm already through the i18n chapter in the zope-3 book, and think 
to know how to set one up on a per product level. I made a locales dir in my 
INSTANCE_HOME, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. However, I'm not sure 
if I might need some zcml-magic to use the i18n stuff globally and/or in a 
zope-2 product, and how I would have to do it.

Having asked that, I hope I'm correct to assume that it is possible to use 
zope-3's i18n services in a zope-2.8 via Five...

BTW, has the i18n service in zope3 something like I've seen in 
PlacelessTranslationServices, that would assist in collecting untranslated 
strings on the fly (PTS can append those strings to .missing files and/or 
present those strings via ZMI)?


Thanks,

Sascha
