Re: [Bodington-developers] i18n res updated : fixed

Thanks Alexis.

I'm not sure what you mean by language agnostic. Bod is now an i18n
application so the template compiler must be language aware. By that I
mean the compiler has to know which language variant to build.

The old style of template class naming is gone:
template_useroptions.class -> template_useroptions_en.class

so the template compiler has to know the language.

As the default is "en" in build.properties 99% of people won't even know
about languages or need to change anything. It's the 1% of deployers who
want it in another language who will have to modify the default. Just as
long as they have the resource files to back it up.

There's nothing stopping someone changing the language to "ru" and gettin=
g
an unusable bod.

A way to stop that happening would be for the build to check
res/generic/languages_en.properties - this lists the available languages
for that version of bod. If what they choose in build.properties isn't in
res/generic/languages_en.properties then the build should abort and slap
them on the back of the head :)
