I've been playing a little bit with this, and I mean "playing" indeed.
Basically trial and error since I'm not familiar with the Cocoon
machinery at all.
Anyway, first I verified that setting value="es_ES" in
main/webapp/sitemap.xmap indeed works. It brings the Spanish strings
from the right catalogue. I also verified that value="${env.LANG}" does
*not* work.
It then occurred to me that I should be able to specify the locale
string in the site's forrest.properties file. So I tested two changes:
1) First change
Index: main/forrest.build.xml

+ <property name="project.site-dir"
location="${project.build-dir}/site/${project.language}" />
</then>
<else>
<property name="project.site-dir"
location="${project.build-dir}/site" />
In my site's forrest.properties I have to add
-#project.i18n=true
+project.i18n=true
+project.language=es_ES
And this alone works just well. The site is generated under
build/site/es_ES but with English labels. The next step is
required to get the translations in place.
2) Second change: Reflecting these changes in the sitemap
Index: main/webapp/sitemap.xmap

<map:serialize/>

Unfortunately these gives me a null pointer and dies :( But there's tons
of {project:xxxx} strings used everywhere in the site map! So, what's
missing to make my newly created "language" property to work?
forrest.build.xml likes it but sitemap.xmap doesn't.
What is then the right way to define a new project property?
