Re: [Mapbuilder-devel] I18N: hard-coded messages in MapBuilder

[Cameron S. <cam...@gm...>]

I'm open to suggestions here.
Mike can probably give us some advice as well.

I suspect that the best way to achieve this is:
1. Create a <widgetText/> model in the config file which references one 
of the international lookup files.

2. Possibly also create a model/widgetText.js file.

3. Then you should be able to get each message as:
widgetText.getParam("you hit the wrong button");
