In Flex 3, the ResourceManager manages ResourceBundle instances, and it doesn't care where they come from. They don't have to be compiled into the application or into resource modules, although this is the primary workflow that we support. You can programmatically create ResourceBundles and populate them with resource data from databases, XML files, or anything else you want, and then access those resources in the same way that you access the compiled ones. - Gordon

This looks really promising. This looks even better than the support Flex 3 will have for localization. What is left on the project? Are there any existing bugs? I'd really love to get a look at this and see if it's something usable for an upcoming project. I can help work out the kinks as I develop this site.

My ultimate goal is to store translations in a database and not have to deal with any xml files or properties files. I haven't released the source code of what I got done because its' not ready, but if you'd like to see it and contribute to it ( I'm gonna release it open source) I'd be more than willing to send you the code. just contact me offlist. brian.. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <http://yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of aaron smith Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2007 8:22 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] localization options in flex 2 Quick question. I'm looking into localization for an app, and one of my concerns is that every piece of text has to be in the correct language for a region. en, fr, etc. But there is quite a bit of text. So instead of having a .properties files for all these different languages for every piece of text. Can I just localize the flex components and just load the corresponding text from a language XML file. So an english xml, french xml, etc. That way instead of having to access a resource bundle with a key/val pair for a specific piece of text, I can just assign the corresponding text from xml to the .text property or .label, etc? I guess I don't see why I would absolutely have to use ResourceBundle's except for localizing the flex components. Any thought? ________________________________ *** The information in this e-mail is confidential and intended solely for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
