    _______________________________________________________


The HTML select boxes on the site are generated through an SQL query. The 
returned result contains the id and the text of an item.



This way, only texts from the database are inserted into the select boxes, 
bypassing gettext.



I think that the severity of this bug is ordinary (or even trivial), but the 
solution seems to be a major pain in the ass.

Yes, sort of. For examples, just see this page: On top of the page, there are 
some select boxes, which indicate certain states of this bug report (e.g. 
Severity, Priority, Resolution, Status).

All these select boxes make perfectly sense to be translated, but the content 
comes from the SQL-Database and is therefore not recognizable by gettext.

Another option of resolving this bug (instead of duplicating all tables for 
every language/locale) would be to add another column to the existing tables, 
named locale (or something along these lines). It would then be possible to 
select the matching entry (e.g. by adding "locale='de_DE'" to the 
WHERE-clause). If no such translation exists, the function should revert to the 
default language and return the entry for e.g. locale='en_US' or maybe even 
locale='C'.

Can you give an example?



There is indeed the problem of i18n database data -- I'm afraid to think about 
duplicating for each language possible the tables. Is that what you thinking of?
