Internacionalizationin Pier

Hi folks,

I have a couple of questions about Internacionalization in Pier. I am developing a website and I would love it can have multiple languages (spanish, english, and so on). My "final user" is able to add posts or leave comments for example. So, I see two thinks I should care:

1) Pier comments: can this support multilanguage ? For pier components I refer to the html output of the components. For example, when you add a post, you have: "title", "author", etc...

2) My own page text. I have several pages with text. Which is the best approach to support multilanguage for this ?

Any tip is welcome.

Cheers,

Mariano

I don't quite get what you want? ;-)

Pier and Seaside support multiple languages in a single page, see for
example the comments in this post:
<http://www.lukas-renggli.ch/blog/studenckifestwal>, so the text you
enter can be any language you want.

Pier does not have a user interface adapted to multiple languages. It
is all in english.

Cheers,
Lukas

No. I think you didn't understand me. I have a complete Pier site and I would like o change the language. Imagine a country flag where you can click in your flag and this changes all the text of the pages to that language. I imagine how I can do this with seaside, but I don't in Pier since the text is put in the page. How can I changed then ? Having a structure per language ?

Ok. This was my 1) question :) Is this planned for a future ?

Thanks for the help,

Mariano

Cheers,

Yeah, I suggest to create a different structures for different languages.

It is not planned, but it would certainly be a cool thing to have.
Also in the context of Seaside, not necessarily just for Pier and
Magritte.

Ok. I will then take a look to see how can I do this. Thanks!

Magritte.

Yes. However, I think it is more important for Pier. All of us (who work as programmer or similar) know English. But, the final user of the application, may not. In my case, and I imagine it could be something common, the final user of my app has access to the Pier UI. For example to post, leave comments, and so on. But, the final user won't have access to Seaside or Magritte UI.

Cheers,

Mariano
