Why not reverse the problem and use an alias mapping.
it would look like this :
{
// english alias
search = "search";
find = "search";
// french alias
recherche = "search";
trouve = "search";
}
then in you DA, you would overwrite :
public WOActionResults performActionNamed(String anActionName)
to check the alias and finaly execute the right action.

Hi guys,
I'm probably missing something obvious, but I just don't see it...
Is there any simple way to get a key from a string? assuming the
string will be localized using the .plist method.
No. And even if there was, the best you would get is a list of keys
that match the string. Keys are unique, strings don't have to me.
That's right, huum I didn't though about this...
I know I can compare the string I get with the string for each
language using stringForKey, but I though there's a convenient way
to get the key directly.
Why are you passing localized values to a direct action? Would it
not be better to pass the key in the URL rather than the localized
version?
search engine:), the name in the URL is very powerful, so I have no
choice but use it in the url.
I could use Apache rewrite to translate it to the correct key
internally, but it would be more difficult to maintain on the
development machine...

I've been working on a new version of a website, with some parts
that will be multilingual.
After reading about that, I decided to go the .strings way, with a
localized .strings file (as the site isn't really dynamic).
It will be mostly DirectAction based.
So here's my question:
How can I access a key in my .strings file based on the value I got?
I mean, I know how to get the value from a key using
WOResourceManager, but I'd like to ba able to request the opposite:
the key based on (a localized) value.
That way I could make my DA more easier to maintain and a lot more
smaller than explicitly write all the possible case in every
language available.
I've red the WOResourceManager API, but without success.
Thanks for your help, have a nice sunday;)
