Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Stop using $msg.get()

Hi, We now used $msg.get() eveywhere in the default XAR. IMO this is bad for the following reasons: * Our search no longer returns hits since it searches on the page content in the database (web search). BTW this is why some REST tests were failing since the content no longer existed for it (it does a hibernate search). * Users get to see $msg.get() everywhere in document titles when they edit XE pages, which is ugly and not understandable for simple users (for ex check Main.WebHome). * It's not a good way to translate apps since we bundle app translations keys in the core jar! Apps should be self-standing What should we do instead? Proposal: * Use the xwiki page translation feature... * Provide a XAR with all languages (and possibly a XAR per language). If the user configures his wiki for one language he'll see only that language (make sure all translations are imported even when in mono language) * Refactor existing pages to separate content from code. Move code to separate pages included from content pages. Never put content in code pages, have it passed to velocity macros for example.

On the technical side we need to verify it can work but this is way better and would address the shortcomings listed above.
