Hi all,
The website refresh will be going live in the next few days (hopefully
by Saturday).
Hi. Great news on the refresh! and I hope you can get it done but Sat. I
HAD planned on implementing the java detection Sat evening (PDT). I'll
see what you do, Sun evening is also a possibility for me.
In the meantime, I have been thinking about the issue of
localization that Andrea brought up, and was wondering how we could
let NL projects modify the header to suit their needs as easily as
possible, given the constraints of CollabNet. I have come up with a
solution, and would like your feedback.
I think you should forward all this to the leader of the NL project...
see
http://projects.openoffice.org/accepted.html
or post to their mailing list.
Basically, it involves 2 .js files (since CollabNet does not seem to
provide specific tools for localization, we have to rely on JS, as
many NL projects have done so far). One will be a 'settings' file full
of variables that allow NL projects to specify localized strings,
navigation links and some other settings, like the URL that the logo
graphic links to.
Well my opinion is this is kind of how the current JS handles
redirection, but maybe others have a different opinion/experience. Since
I only get English verionss through the bouncer, I don't have a good
idea about what really happens here.
This will be hosted separately by each NL project.
The second file will be hosted in one place and will take care of the
localization (replacing HTML, etc). This will allow us to make changes
if necessary without making each NL project do it individually.
Again...please forward all this to the NL project. I think this would be
the appropriate starting point.
You can see this concept in action at
http://www.patentpending.co.nz/openoffice/test/localized.htm
And the two files that make it work can be seen at:
http://www.patentpending.co.nz/openoffice/test/locale.js (for NL projects)
and http://www.patentpending.co.nz/openoffice/test/localization.js (universal)
I will write up a wiki page with full instructions if this is given
the go-ahead. What do you think?
Thanks,
Ivan.
