Re: i18n - Where to start?

Hello,

So there is 2 frameworks to do multi language UI in Pharo (but I don't know if one of them is i18n).

One framework is in the image, does not work very well and no one use it seemingly. So I don't recommend it.

The other one is the one everyone use, so I recommend it, I'm not sure but I think it is named getText and you can find here: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~PharoExtras/Gettext

Seemingly it has been ported to Pharo 2.0 recently. Therefore it should work *nearly* out of the box.

With the QCMagritte image (from the pharo contributions ci).
That has build-in support for translations. Just start it and open
the web demo

Here is a demo of the i18n support in QCMagritte.
It supports live editing of the languages and strings used in your application.

In the multi language demo of QCMagritte, a magritte visitor is used that changes all label:, checkboxLabel:, comment: and group: sends in descriptions to automatically use a multilanguagestring. The parameter is used as the key. All unique keys are collected. The default translation is the key. That is used for missing translations.

Languages can be added on the fly.
The demo has a simple UI to directly add and change translations.
The whole translation table can be written to csv, and read back. This is not shown in the video
