[Bodington-developers] i18n Guide? and Admin Zones?

[Jon M. <jo...@te...>]

1)
Probably a question for Alistair so if no one else can help I'll repost 
next week.

I have a (potential) client who will be setting up bilingual 
English/Spanish teaching resources and whose staff are mostly bilingual. 
They probably lack technical expertise in things like XML files etc. but 
will be more than capable of translating educational terminology etc. 
So, is there a idiot's guide to using Alistair's localisation features 
for Bodington?

2)
Another requirement of this client is to be able to quickly and easily 
set up new buildings each with its own administrative zone. At present 
creating administrative zones is something that involves bringing 
Bodington down and running a script of some sort on the database. So, to 
make life easier for my client (and anyone else who wants to host a 
shared Bodington installation for multiple clients) I'm thinking of 
adding zone management functionality. Adding a zone would create the 
zone itself and a set of groups in the same way as the Bodington 
installation code but doing it at runtime.

So, can I check that people are O.K. with this plan? The idea would be 
to add a create zone link to the manage page of floors, suites, plain 
rooms which is visible only with sysadmin access. The create zone 
template would simply ask for a zone prefix and zone name and would then 
create the zone and create group structures at the location where the 
user invoked the functionality.

Does this seems alright? Is anyone already working on something similar?
