But the real problem is when two users want to have different

want to have "some-other-jp-equivalent" for "an english word"...

In the case of one translation domain setting "an english word" again
will override the original meaning. but I want to let every user has his
own translation for each word ...  I thought of having a domain for
every user but then thought maybe there is a more elegant (and easier)
way to do this.

Any help is very much appreciated.

not exactly what you asked for, but the approach of http://zope3.mpg.de/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Zope/MpgSiteI18N might be one that could suit your needs. page is unfortunately in german language, though.

the idea is to make the fields of content objects being able to carry an entry for several languages.

hint: you may find the mpgsite sources at svn co https://svnserv.cbs.mpg.de/svn/edv/EDV/mpgsite, as explained on http://zope3.mpg.de/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Zope/MpgSiteInstallation

hope it helps in a way.


cheers, Sascha

Thanks Sascha. It was very useful. Although I can't read a single word of German, but the code was talking for itself.

We can have different translations for every object of a class by using only one translation domain. The idea is to have a very complicated Unique ID (per object) per every attribute(schema field) that will be the same ID used for translation. then different translations can be associated to that ID (en, ja, de etc.) . I think the mpgsite is taking this a step further by designing a translation domain for every schema field regardless of which object it is used in.... nice.

Thank you very much for the idea. I think the I18N schema field could be included in the standard zope3 as well. am I right?

Hass
