What do you mean with "set the locale"? AFAIK the locale is set by the user agent. You can access it using {request:locale}. > should (1) and (2) always be in sync? for live, i'd say yes. for > authoring, syncing would mean that someone who works with foreign > language content also gets translated lenya menus. slightly odd, but for > simplicity i'd say we should gang the two. IMO we shouldn't sync them. Changing the i18n of the GUI when changing the page language would IMO lead to an inconsistent look&feel. Usually you have two i18n transformer configurations in your project, one for the Lenya GUI and the other for the i18n of page contents (i.e., to add internationalized text snippets to the page, like "Read more" / "Lesen Sie mehr" below a teaser). The latter uses the locale of the requested page. -- Andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscribelenya.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-helplenya.apache.org
