[jdev] jabber localization project?

[Jonathan Dickinson]

How about some central XML file? A front-end for the XML file could be built to allow translators to go in and add their stuff. This way we could _realistically_ start making use of the xml:lang attribute on the stream. E.g.

<messages>
 <errors>
  <resource-not-found>
   <neutral>
     The resource '{0}' was not found.
   </neutral>
   <en-us>
     The resource '{0}' was not found.
   </en-us>
   <en-speare>
     Thine '{0}' resource found was not.
   </en-speare>
  </resource-not-found>
 </errors>
</messages>

If we did some fancy namespacing we could even make some really kick-ass design patterns, for instance:

<messages xmlns:client="jabber:client">
  <errors>
    <client:resource-not-found/>
  </errors>
</messages>

We could then do a lookup for certain namespaces:names and maybe build it into our XML writers...

It looks like Coccinella simply does not support all mood values (
http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0107.html#moods ). I've no idea
what's the reason for that. Mats?
