Hello,
I'd like to work on translations of default XE pages (pages that are not internationalized yet) like Photos.WebHome, Main.Tags, Panels etc. In order to do things correctly I'd like to now the syntax I should use for the $msg.get values.
What we have in a page like XWiki.XWikiUserSheet is : "platform.core.profile.firstname" for the firstname
1 ) Should I use the same syntax ("platform.core.tags.title" for the title of Main.Tags - if i keep my example) ?
2 ) Or should we use more scalable values (tomorrow we will have a core and applications on it : should we consider the Panels as an application and have something like "application.panel.panelname.element" ?).
3 ) Maybe that we also can use things like the fullname of a page in the value (to quickly identify it) and having something like : "appplication.panel.Panels.Search.title"
I'm waiting for your advices on this (1 / 2 / 3 or another proposal).
Proposal 3) looks good to me since it would be quite helpful to know on what part of the interface a message is located when translating it to other languages.
I'll let Sergiu answer first since he's the one who has thought the most about this.
However 3) doesn't sound so good to me: * text not very reusable for other locations * subject to document name change so high risk of being dis- synchronized * For applications resource bundles should go in wiki pages and thus the namespace is already done by the application space
The main resource bundles should only be for templates/skins. Everything application-related should go in Document Resource Bundles IMO: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/InternationalizingApplicat...
How about: <product>.<module>[.<topic>[.<subtopics...>]].[element]
Where product is either platform or the name of the product (xe, xws, xeclipse), module is either the name of the platform component (core, rendering, macros) or the name of the application (blog, calendar, administration), topic is an optional component or application submodule, and element is the text being translated.
Examples:
platform.core.action.objectRemove.noClassnameSpecified platform.macros.code.unknownSyntax platform.macros.velocity.unhandledException xe.administration.groups.addNewUser xe.blog.management.createBlog xe.blog.blogPost.editing.hide
Given that applications might not be bundled with a product, and that most applications are not specific to one product, but can be used in several, we could remove the product name.
+1 to the above without the product name except for platform.
Ok ! Thanks, Thomas
I don't think that the component/application name should be removed, even though the localization is included in an application's space and resources are used in one type of document, because we could get conflicts when using several applications together (for example management.title could be used both in the blog and calendar applications).
Agreed. +1 to keep it.
Thanks -Vincent
