description translation

Is it easy to associate different language for description - (to
automatically translate a UI ?)
It's mainly all a question of String translation, maybe we can use the
message translated ... but where to store the different values ...

Is it feasible ?

Cheers

Yes, this is feasible easily. There is no direct support in Magritte  
or Pier itself, but that can be done with your preferred string  
translating framework.

What we usually do at netstyle.ch is to have a special special class  
TranslatedString that provides the same interface as the String  
class, but consists of a collection of translated strings. Depending  
on the selected language in the session, the TranslatedString  
instance behaves like one of its containing strings. This approach  
works well with Magritte.

Cheers,
Lukas

When time comes, I ll try that... not very clear for me right now...
is there a message that is applied to a string...
like  'class' translated
or does it mean instead of assiocating a string to a label or options
or... we associate an instance of a TranslatedString (in this case, do
you use a shortcut constructor method)
or maybe this is something like
'text' creates a TranlatedString if defined and behave like a string ?
