[Zope3-Users] sx.translations 1.0 Released!

[Chris Withers]

This package provides components for use with Zope 3 and Zope 2 + Five 
that implement both ITranslationDomain and ILanguageAvailability as well 
as supporting the recording of untranslated msgids.

This means that, not only do the components support the interface 
require to provide messages to Zope 3's i18n framework, they can also be 
used to generate a list of available languages using code similar to the 
following:

   from zope.component import getUtility
   from zope.i18n.interfaces import ILanguageAvailability
   from zope.i18n.locales import locales, LoadLocaleError

   domain = 'myproject'

   def getLanguages(self):
     options = getUtility(ILanguageAvailability,
                          domain).getAvailableLanguages()
     options.sort()
     result = []
     for option in options:
         lang = option[0]
         try:
             locale = locales.getLocale(lang)
         except LoadLocaleError:
             # probably not a real locale
             continue
         result.append(
             {'code':lang,
              'name':locale.displayNames.languages[lang],
             )
     return result

Sample ZCML for configuration could be:

     <configure xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
            xmlns:i18n="http://namespaces.simplistix.co.uk/translations">

     <!-- make the sx.translations' registerTranslations directive
          available -->
     <include package="sx.translations" file="meta.zcml" />

     <!-- register our locales using sx.translations -->
     <i18n:registerTranslations locales="../locales"
                                missing="../locales/myproj.pot"
                                encoding="utf-8"/>

     </configure>

I'm happy to contribute this code to the Zope 3 core if people can tell 
me where and how to do so...

cheers,

Chris
