Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Translation server upgraded to OpenACS 5.1.2d4 and .LRN 2.1.0b3.

Malte,

1. well, the best we can do is to add a parameter in .info to identify if the package is i18n, but you can do that *detecting* catalog dirs as well

2. I guess this is done,
in http://translate.openacs.org/acs-lang/admin/message-list?package%5fkey=acs%2ddatetime&locale=es%5fGT
you find the link:
# Import messages for this package and locale from catalog files
which basically refers to a catalog file for a given locale ...
though, ain't sure about conflict resolution ...

I think is a good idea, though not sure how practical is in real life, probably Joel can comment more on this since he has been working with translate for a while ...
