thank you Derek .... However, If the data ( text, pics, sizes, tags. ... ) is in the xml file ( within the static folder ), I will not be able to provide translation for that information by using the web2py object T( ) for translation before viewing those informations ... so I was wandering if I can have my interactive map with the text information data ( from another source than xml ) so it can be serialised or translated when needed ( such as in french ) like the rest of the app .. And that is where I am a stuck !! ..
thank you for your input .. it got me to understand more about xml and python ! ... On Friday, July 20, 2012 4:04:04 PM UTC-4, Derek wrote: > > Yes, don...
