[phpesp-dev] Translations

[Stefan C. <sch...@ea...>]

It looks difficult to add translation capabilities to phpESP.
I've evaluated several scenarios but I'm quite disappointed overall.

My best try is to mark a survey as a "model" and make copies of, marked as=
=20
"localisations". Copies are independant (thus there's a risk of discrepanci=
es=20
with the model).

=46rom the acl point of view, we have :=20

=2D Model belongs to one group, one designer.
=2D Models are viewable for a given set of groups (those wich are going to=
=20
translate)
=2D A translation is a copy of a model, owned by the translator and kept in=
side=20
the group of the translator.
=2D The memeber of the group of the model have access to the copies (and on=
ly=20
the copies), even if they are outside the group.

I don't like this scenario because it breaks the idea that groups are priva=
te=20
(you are only allowed to see the surveys that are in you group). A nice=20
solution would be to allow that a person can belong to several groups. But=
=20
this require a lot of code refactoring.

I'd like to have your ideas here, because if I'm going to make big changes,=
it=20
is likely that my Pear port will be useless to the community. A bad thing.
