internationalization

With gettext, the original (usually English) text of messages serves as the message key ("msgid") for the translations. This means that every time the original text changes, the msgid must be updated in all the .po files. For real changes of the text, this is obviously unavoidable, as the translator must update the translation. However, if the change of the original does not change its meaning, re-translation is superflous (e.g. change in punctation, whitespace changes, or correction of a spelling mistake). Is there a way to update the .po files automatically in that case? I tried to use

I'm trying to use fragment cache to cache the footer and navigation bar on a Ruby on Rails Site that uses I18n. The problem is, changing the language then shows you the footer and navigation bar in the wrong language. How do you go about expiring fragment cache when locale changes? Rather than expiring the fragment cache, you should make the locale part of the cache key, i.e. something like cache :locale => I18n.locale, ... do ... end This way different users can see different language versions of the footer/navigation bar but all will see cached versions. When caching a fragment in Rails 3,

I am trying to set up a way to allow members to translate strings into other languages. You can see an example here: TRANSLATIONS TEST Someone recommended that I use php's native gettext() function for this, instead of what I am already using to load the language files, which is this: function loadLanguageFile($language, $file) { $temp = array(); $data = file_get_contents('./'.$language.'/'.$file.'.'.$language.'.php'); $codes = array ( '/(\'\s*\.\s*\$)(.+?)(\s*\.\s*\')/', '/(=\s*\$)(.+?)(\s*\.\s*\')/', '/(\'\s*\.\s*\$)(.+?)(;)/', '/(\[\')(.+?)(\'\])/', '/<\?php/s', '/\?>/s', '/<\?/s' ); $html

How is i18n handled within Sencha touch? (I am talking of localization support for strings, but also of localized components) A more specific question: I have a form that contains a date picker, how do I make sure that the date will be displayed and picked in european format when I access the application using a french android phone? Cheers There isn't an official API for i18n in SenchaTouch, yet. Although in Ext 4 there are localization files for all components in the /locale folder. There is an old tutorial that indicates a way, by dynamically in setting the src attribute of a script tag

I am trying to run the Django language localization on a project, but makemessages always ignores the html templates in my templates folder. I'm running python manage.py makemessages -a from the project root, and all of the strings that are marked for translation inside .py files anywhere in the project are successfully added to the .po file. Any of the strings in the html templates, i.e., {{ trans "String_to_translate" }} are ignored and not added to the .po file even though the necessary module is loaded at the top of the template, {% load i18n %} . To test the possibility that the whole

I have a page that is multi lingual and I have an issue with the Japanese version only. For some reason in IE8, when I hover over an element, a sibling's font-size will increase/decrease. Even stranger, is that this doesn't happen on every hover, sometimes I cannot reproduce straight away, I need to keep hovering over different elements in the same area of the page. Eventually this bug will rear its ugly head. This bug only occurs on the Japanese page, all other languages seem to be fine. This could be happening on other versions of Internet explorer, I haven't tested on all. To clarify, I

I started to play with new i18n_patterns in Django 1.4. Basically, i want to have language links for each of my supported languages on all of my templates headers. I have implemented my header as a separate template that is being included in other templates. Is there a way to keep my header generic and solve this without passing the current view name or current url in template context? I guess it comes to a question how do i retrieve the current view or url from inside the template in a generic way. BTW, i discovered that my previous approach with set_lang view to change the active language

Does Delphi support internationalization in any way? I've seen that I can add different languages for a project, but that seems to create multiple instances of the dfm files. Am I right that the language therefore cannot be changed at runtime? How do you handle internationalization (if you do)? Are there any best-practices? I have once experimented with runtime change of languages. It worked great, but I needed to write lots of code myself (and circumvent the dfm files). The problem is, it is a lot of hassle and you almost never need this. The better option (in my opinion) is to create a base
