Internationalisation for Woody forms' labels?

[Derek Hohls <DH...@csir.co.za>]

Hi

I'd appreciate some help setting up a form definition such that the
labels that appear on the form are translated based on context.

I *assume* its something like:

In the Form:

<wd:label><i18n:text i18n:catalogue="forms"
i18n:key="lbl_name">Name</i18n:text></wd:label>

Catalog File (say: FormLabels.xml) in a "message" subdirectory:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<catalogue xml:lang="it_IT">
   <message key="lbl_name">Naam</message>
   <message key="title">Wat is jou naam?</message> 
</catalogue>

Sitemap:

  <catalogues default="woody">
    <catalogue id="woody" name="WoodyMessages" location="messages"/>
    <catalogue id="forms" name="FormLabels"    location="messages"/>
  </catalogues>

And in the pipeline for the form:

    <map:match pattern="form-display">
      <map:generate src="forms/form_template.xml"/>
      <map:transform type="woody"/>      
      <map:transform type="i18n"/> <!-- translates form messages and
codes -->  
      <map:transform src="resources/woody-samples-styling.xsl"/>
      <map:serialize/>  
    </map:match> 

But this does not work when I append the "?locale=it-IT" parameter to
call the form
display from the flow script - what I am I missing??  And is there an
easier way to
do the above - bearing in mind I may have to add more languages later?

Thanks
Derek

(unrelated to your problem)

I wouldn't use the id "forms" for your own messages, as that is what
cforms uses.

In fact, I wouldn't use a catalogue id on your i18n:text tags at all.
Just make your custom catalog the default.
