Thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED],
Your response handles the translation of static 'interface' elements
of the application. For example translations of static menu items in
multiple languages based on the language setting made the user. I mean
something different.
What I mean is for example a database with news articles. For every
article there is a version in each language supported by the website.
Based on the language settings made by the user a localised copy of
the article is shown. If a localised version of the article is not
available than the version in the default site language is shown, for
example English.
Symfony uses a table structure like this:
Table: news
Fields: id, ...
Table news_i18n
Fields: id, news_id, language, title, content, ...
News is the main table. News_i18n is the table where the different
translated version of each article is saved. For each article there is
one records in the i18n table.
For example:
Record 1 in table news:
id: 1
Records in table news_i18n:
id: 1
news_id: 1
language: en
id: 2
news_id: 1
language: fr
id: 3
news_id: 1
language: du
Based on the requested news id and the language setting a record is
fetched from the news_i18n table.
It looks like the 1.2 version of Cake has functions for this kind of
setup. Questions is how do we use it!
Thanks,
