Compared to using gettext, the java style of resource files seems unnecessarily awkward. There's a java api for gettext, described at http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/Java.html I haven't used it yet, so I can't vouch for it. You'd think that clojure syntax is, on its surface, close enough to scheme that xgettext --language=Scheme blah.clj would work for files with forms like (_ "some string to be translated") .. . but it doesn't. Looks like writing a custom xgettext is going to be necessary. I had already hacked up some proof-of-concept clojure code using a zipper to extract / translate strings from html files without any additional markup. Part of me thinks it'd be really nice to be able to similarly identify a clojure source file as needing to be translated, then extract any non-docstring text strings (or heck, maybe even docstrings) automatically, without having to add the (_ "blah") markup. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
