Sakai-JS internationalization

[Lovenalube]

Hi Everyone

I am looking for a way to plugin the i8n that is built into Sakai (i8n via Java Resource Bundles) but take in that feature through into javascript.

So far, Nuno Fernandes has come up with a jquery plugin that theoretically can do this but has had little success on 2 tools withing Sakai. Documentation on this is available: http://codingwithcoffee.com/?p=272

I am looking for a javascript solution to simply drop in and end users do not have to rewrite their translations strings into java sided and JS sided messages.properties.

Thank you

Hi Lovemore,

Good question. We wrote a Java properties parser in JavaScript for  
reading localization bundles in the Fluid Renderer passed down from  
the server. Do an Ajax request to grab your properties bundle, then  
run it through the parser. The result is a plain old JSON object.  
Looking at Nuno's code, they seem pretty similar.

You can see our implementation in the Infusion framework's  
fluidParser.js file:

https://source.fluidproject.org/svn/fluid/infusion/trunk/src/webapp/framework/renderer/js/fluidParser.js

As for the specific details about Sakai tools, I don't have a lot of  
advice to offer you on that, but perhaps others from the Sakai  
community will.

One other quick note: we've created a mailing list specifically for  
users of Fluid Infusion. We're not using fluid-talk for technical  
questions any more, so you'll probably get a speedier response if you  
post to infusion-users@.... Here's a link to the signup  
page:

I hope this helps,

Colin
