I've used i18n in the past (4.7?) and I had mixed feelings.
I have read all your email through in the hopes that I will be able to reply, but I would sit here all morning, through to lunch to reply to all your points (two hours to lunch now), so let me give
Thanks for your interest.
you some pointers instead. It is a good idea to look what is the actual state before throwing (good!) ideas around about how things should be done, and how simple are those actually. I'd suggest you
Your thesis was enlightening about all the new features and solutions and current status. After reading your email and your thesis I still have some critique but I'll follow your suggestion and find the time to install Drupal 6. My general feeling is that translations and taxonomies are too highly coupled... I won't comment further without some more knowledge on my part of the current status, but I think you got an idea about what I mean from my previous email. Reading your thesis I got more conscious about why translations looks so coupled but well we both have a lot of stuff to digest and I'll wait better moments to get into details. I ask you just a bit of patience more for my rudeness but at this time my module is agnostic of the drupal version and non Italian content still have to be thought... but I need a smooth path to have localised strings (dates, float, currency...). Any help on this? I read in your thesis: "Local functionality By implementing a custom install profile, I distributed the Hungar- ian interface translation with local functionality for Hungarian date format support and features for common hosts, beginning with Drupal 5.1 [38]." Just dates? what about float? is this stuff already ready and hidden somewhere in the source of 5.2? thanks a lot, great work. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it
