RE: [Dynapi-Dev] DynAPI build, Splitting files

[Pascal B. <pb...@oi...>]

The problem with this (dynapi) situation and your example is that in the
DynAPI not ALL code is browser independend, in your example all text would
be different for every language.

"..but it's important to see all the versions together in order to be sure
that any change is done simultaneoulsy"

yes.

"split the files and let the german version be done by a native german
speaking (if available)"

I think when you'r doing cross-browser dhtml you should already be aware of
what browsers can do, so I don't think this applies. If you don't know the
capabilities of both browsers you will get the differences in the
implementation, something we don't want because we're creating a
cross-browser api that should work on all browser in the same way with the
same functionality.

Oh come on. If you're supposed to write an international site for visitors
in 5 languages, would you really consider writing (and editing) all the
different texts, labels, figure captions, etc in ONE file only and
separating the languages by deeply nested if`s ?
Would you say, ok, I don't know german so well, but it's important to see
all the versions together in order to be sure that any change is done
simultaneoulsy. I try to learn german (and french and kisuaheli, etc.)
Or would you prefer to define the "look & feel" of the site, split the files
and let the german version be done by a native german speaking (if
available)?
