I'm looking for an approach which makes developing localized web apps simpler and I came across Dynamator. Though I have no experience with it yet, I like the idea. But let me ask a couple of questions. Assuming I have to give the texts to be translated to an external office for translation. That office will most likely *not* be able to handle XML data files like *.dyn. A simple properties (or Excel) file would be much better. Does dynamator provide anything like that? Maybe the <content> tag could have some attribute like id="xyz" and the attribute's value points to some properties file value containing the localized texts. Thus separating logic (the dyn file contains some kind of logic/program) from text. Besides changes (additions) to the HTML would not require to modifiy 10+ dyn files in case of 10+ languages, but just one. what do you think? Maybe even without <content>. The parent tag could have the id attr. Well, hmm, probably not a could idea though. regards Juergen |
