Re: [Openinteract-dev] OI2 i18n support

No real direct experience, but we talked a lot about how to do this 
in Scoop..  The general consensus was pretty much what you have 
below.  Key phrases will be in a lookup table with keys and a column 
for each language.   Then you could insert it into a template with

[% msg('company.welcome', 'Russian' ) %]

Which is what you have below, though I've not heard of the term 
Optiron before...

But regarding your other feature, with /ru, /es, or whatever based on 
the language.  You talk about each language only having write access 
to their own documents (if you set it up that way I would assume). 
How would you tell what language a particular document stored in the 
db is in?  Another field?  So now most base tables and most package 
tables would need to handle another field and check for it?

I think it would be handy, if you could work some of that SPOPS magic 
and have SPOPS know how to handle added language fields.  So you 
could add a 'lang' key to the hash we'd pass to SPOPS, and it would 
know to restrict results to that language, but only if we configured 
it that way.  This would require the aforementioned field in each 
table, I would think.

This would be beneficial in that it would act like the SPOPS security 
actions, where the other rows don't exist if you don't have access to 
them.

Well, that's enough pre-coffee rambling for this morning.  Sounds 
like a neat setup.
