Looking for Tools for internationalization 2005-10-05 - By Dharmendra Sharan

Hi Sue,
Surely you don't mean to have the translation of all possible words in all
languages into all other languages known!! ;-)
Generally internationalization requires conscious effort on the part of the
user:-
1. To identify the set of relevant text messages which need to
translated depending on the language
2. Provide appropriate translation of the same in the languages handled
by the application
as resource bundles having the property file corresponding to
each language handled
3. Determining the appropriate locale or perhaps based on user action,
switch to using the corresponding message bundle for returning the relevant
text messages in the selected language.
Here are some relevant links which may be of help:-

Subject: Looking for Tools for internationalization
Hi All,
We are looking for a tool to help us with internationalizing our web apps -
using WebShpere.
Basically, does anyone know if there is a tool that stores all the texts in
different languages, say in English, French, ...., and then generate a
language specific property file. We are not looking for a translator, but a
simple tool that will store all the text related data into a repository
(db) and then produce a language specific property file. It will be nice to
query the repository as well, like does a particular text already exist or
not, and so on...
Yes, it won't be that difficult to do this on our own. But, if there is a
simple tool w/ nice U/I, it will be nice for us.
Thanks in advance for shedding some light into this for us.
Regards,
Sue Ryu
