Hi there, I'm working on improving the support for multilingual websites in Zope. Already I've found some tools to be of great help: SiteAccess, Translator, and Transparent Folder (and zzLocale, although I'm mostly interested in ZODB objects). The Transparent Folder enabled me to separate the code, content, and design into separate folders (yeah! it should really be part of the core!), the Translator allows me to externalize strings and localize objects that I want to include (via <dtml-lvar). I've run into a couple of problems with the Translator product, though, mainly because I want to localize whole documents, but let them keep the same URL. Let's say I have a "product_info" document. I could put it in a separate ISO language folder, e.g., zh/de/fr/en/no, but then the normal traversal engine can't find it (only dtml-lvar can) unless I explicitly say which folder it is in, which kind-of ruins the point. The ideal case is that: http://website/company/info would find and return zh/company/info de/company/info ... company/info based on the user's language preference. I thought about using SiteAccess to do that, but it's proving hard, and also would only allow me to do a "language split" at the top. A more interesting solution would be to patch the traversal engine (could I do it with SiteAccess?) to look for a particular language version of each object (designated by adding the language's ISO code to the name or some other such convention); in that way I could make company/ a global directory, or I would chose to make it into a localized directory, i.e., all of these would work: company:zh/info company/info:zh company:de/info etc... Could this be done with Zope? Another thought was to make a special Transparent Folder (maybe called Localized Folder) that would resolve accesses to subobjects based on the user's language preference. Different language versions of each object could be put in separate sub-folders, as it is for the Translator product. PS! Any chance of seeing an integration of the core (at least language matching) functionality of Translator and zzLocale? These two products should really become part of the core ASAP, in some form or another.
