Overview

TranslationService is a placeful translation service for Zope 2.6 and Zope 2.7.

It allows you to have fully functional internationalization from Page Templates using the standardized i18n tags. See the ZPT internationalization wiki for more details on the syntax.

This product does:

  • Plug into Zope's i18n framework and provide itself as the global translation service for ZPT.
  • Redirect translations to appropriate message catalogs depending on their domain, in a configurable manner.

Currently there is only one message catalog implementation provided, which is based on Localizer 1.0.1's MessageCatalog. In the future it will be easy to create additionnal message catalogs, for instance one based on a plain filesystem .po or .mo file.

Installation

  • Use Zope 2.6 or more recent.
  • Install TranslationService.
  • Install Localizer 1.0.1 (do not use the 1.1 branch of Localizer, it is not supported and will not work).

Usage

  • Create a Localizer Message Catalog.
  • Create a Translation Service. It must be called translation_service.
  • Configure the translation service so that the path to the Localizer Message Catalog is provided for the i18n domain(s) you need. A Default domain can be used as a catch-all.

That's it! You should now be able to use i18n tags in Page Templates.

Changes

  • Compatible with Zope 2.7.
  • Don't bomb if an interpolation string has an unknown ${substitution}, just leave it in the resulting string.
  • Don't bomb if a non-ASCII string is passed as a substitution, try to infer its encoding from the output encoding (which will be the case if the string is issued from Localizer).
  • This product used to be known as PersistentTranslationService.
  • Now fully use the Zope 2.6 framework.

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
