Commons-gettext taglib

[zzrough]

Hi!

After coming back to java web development after a couple of years, I'm
a bit disappointed by all the frameworks available : they all use
properties to translate strings.

I love gettext for all the reason explained on the main page of this
project but I see there is very poor support for gettext in apps let
alone webapps.

I'd like to contribute a JSTL-based taglib to use commons-gettext
easily in JSPs.

Would this match the scope of the project or is it bound to be only
the base I18N+build support?

This blog entry : http://blogs.igalia.com/dpino/?p=112 pretty much
summaries what I had in mind except I'd like to come up with a fully
documentated taglib based on the JSTL (to use LocalizationContext).
That would be the equivalent of the JSTL <msg:fmt> tag used to
translate via resource bundles. I'd keep the same function names as in
the commons-gettext and provide additional tags to hook the language
selection up for instance.

thanks,

--Stef

Hi,

that sounds like an interesting project.

Could you give an example of how this would work. What would the
taglib offer? How would a sample jsp look like with gettext i18n
support?

Cheers,
Felix
