Re: [PROPOSAL] i18n4data Proposal

[Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>]

Hi Huang,

Actually we have also an UI to deal with that in OFBiz. It's in the content component. It's also dynamic (since it's using the DB) but I must confess it's not easy to use (not ergonomic I should say). The demo date xml files below are only supposed to be loaded at start to populate the correspondind entites if needed (demo purpose).

I will follow your work, and maybe the OFBiz community at large could be interested too. In order to let the community be aware I post also this answer to our dev ML. For those interested here is the original thread 
http://www.nabble.com/-PROPOSAL--i18n4data-Proposal-td15220976.html

I hope you will find enough interest in Apache community for your project to get to the incubator.

Thanks

Jacques

  Hi, Jacques,

  I still think they are quite different. In my oprion, the difference is:

  Resource bundle files are static. Here I mean the entries were created during 
  developing time or need a developer to modify it though the values can be 
  edited later or at runtime. OfBiz xml file is the same.

  i18n4data is dynamic, entries may be added into the dictionary at runtime. 
  Therefore, a end user may add new entries at any time. If the end user is 
  give permisions to edit the translation, all the i18n process takes place through
  web pages.
   
  Please give more comments, thanks.

  Regards,

  Huang
