Body:
My question was to it was to Cyriaque who said your proposal was not
sufficient. I was asking why and adding details to the proposal.
But since you ask for more info here we go (if this becomes a desgn discussion
we should move it to the dev list and then place a summary here).
"a) How do you enable the <i18n ..> </i18n> thing to work? I just put your code
in my web site and Forrest complains with..."
My example is intended to be a suggestion for how the DTD could be extended to
support what you are requesting. It doesn't exist yet.
"b) lang="en", what does it mean?"
Forrest has some "in development" i18n features, this would be one of them. I'm
not sure exactly how it works, but somehow Forrest must be told which language
to server. This value would be used in the skinning process in order to select
the correct language tokens.
"2. What about the non-tokenized strings like "Search"?"
Currently none of the strings are tokenised. If we adopt this solution then we
will need to tokenise them all. This is open source - can you help us since
this is your itch?
If you want to tackle this discuss it with us on the dev list, we can help by
pointing you in the right direction. Otherwise you'll have to wait until a dev
finds the time and inclination to implement this, or another solution.

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FOR-506
Summary: Do not hard-code site-visible message strings in skin files
Type: Improvement
Status: Unassigned
Priority: Minor
Project: Forrest
Components:
Skins (general issues)
Versions:
0.7-dev
Assignee:
Reporter: Pedro I. Sanchez
Created: Thu, 26 May 2005 10:49 AM
Updated: Thu, 26 May 2005 2:48 PM
Environment: N/A
Description:
Text strings like "Copyright", "Published", and "Search" are hardcoded into
skin files like site2xhtml.xsl. When creating web sites in languages other than
English the web developer is forced to create local versions of these skin
files with the appropriated translations.
Instead, the DTD for the skinconf.xml should be improved to allow these
translations to be specified in this file. This would make Forrest much easier
to use.
