Hi, Recently I've received the assignment to develop all of our products (software modules) with support for multiple languages. In order to avoid problems with things like japanese (or other non iso8859-1) I've switched all the environment to use utf-8. Database tables, files and webserver will all output utf-8 as default for the 'new' products.
My next step is to decide how to better support this feature in the model/db and php itself since the admin user will have to choose which language he/she will be using for that news entry (for example) so that if the end user chooses to view the english version of the site he/she will only see those news entries that were inserted as such. Why am I asking this here: a)I am using ZF for all new products so I'd like to know if there is any component to help me out b) Probably someone has/has the same problem c) I do not want to reinvent the wheel more than I have to >From the model standpoint seems that adding a column lang to the tables that hold the information a safe choice. But how about the views? Should I create separate views, one for each supported lang, should I create just one with variables for all strings/buttons (and those coming from a ini/xml file)? Thanks.
