Multilingual App

Hey guys,

what's your preferred approach to make an Amber app multilingual?

Some ideas we're brainstorming here:

Using the translatable strings in a dictionary that's in a Translation object coming on a package of its own and deciding which to load dynamically (with require.js or whatever)
Loading the Translation object dynamically with ajax
Lazily loading the Translation object from the local storage that it's lazily installed there via AJAX

any thoughts? other appealing options?

Re: Multilingual App

Hello,

There is also the google API that permit to translate automatically using google traduction. It does not work very well on words but it works okay on a full web page (it works with lexical fields).

I guess you could integrate that in Amber quite easily as the javascript library integration is easy. Of course, you would have to provide by yourself the main languages (like English / Spanish) to be sure the translation is accurate but you can provide the other languages of your multilingual app with google trad precising that it might not be accurate to customers.

For example look at this page : http://www.depale.fr . The web page is in French but you can choose on the left menu to translate it to any language google trad supports. The result is quite good in my point of view.
