I think the solution is a mix between 2 and 3, use a template but
localized with Turbine l10n service, this way you get best of both
worlds a completely costumizable subject with a localized message easily

*.properties files is the way to go.., JetspeedLocalization*.java seems
not used right now.. and it's a very bad format.. almost evry ide has a
properties edtiro.. so..

New Committers

[David Sean Taylor <da...@bluesunrise.com>]

Hi All,

I proposed Chris Kimpton as a committer last week.
I kind of lost track and I don't have all of my emails with me on the road.
Could someone tell me if he received all three votes?

I'd also like to propose Andreas Kempf from Siemens.
Andreas is working with Jetspeed every day on his project there.
They are working on mobile solutions.
He plans to work in the following areas:

- Implement/improve wap support for jetspeed (includes modifying classes, vm
templates (html/wml))
- Improve customization (customize panes, html profile, wml profile)
- Improve vm templates (html) with css for easier layout adaptations.

My vote is:

+1

Thanks,

David

If I remember right, the issue was discussed previously. The point of
view of Raphael was that having everything in localised strings would
not work in a templating environment, because (for instance)
right-to-left languages like hebrew or arabic, would call for completely
different layouts and templates.

Nevertheless, there is an issue with regards to login messages (like
"Login Failed: no such user" or "Wrong password". These strings
correspond to system messages and they should be in localised strings.
(I don't really object, I just support your point).

I think the toolbox allows us to have a solution like the one you are
suggesting. The only remaining issue would be to mark those "message"
strings and localise them, as oposed to templates.

Yes, but only for messages. Templates are much cleaner for things like
login portlets, emails,... We just deliver a set of standard templates,
and we can have translation teams delivering Spanish, French, Chinese,
... subtrees + one properties file. This was one of the reasons why I
have always pushed unicode for us. We want a truly global server.
