1: Notifications and locale
Posted by Malte Sussdorff on 02/17/07 09:17 AM
I realized that the notifications are being send in the language of the sender not the recipient. I am aware that changing this will require to store the not localized versions of the body and subject in the notification tables and then do a lang::util::localize when sending the notification, but maybe it is on purpose that the notifications are not send in the language of the recipients.

If I change this, would this require a formal process (as notifications I think is part of .LRN ?)

Malte,

IMO, it would be a good thing. Our users have asked to receive notifications in their own language (they may not understand the sender one). I've post a suggestion about it some time ago (http://www.openacs.org/bugtracker/openacs/bug?bug_number=3041).

Notifications is part of .LRN, yes. There's no formal process yet AFAIK but we can discuss it (notifications) at next .LRN meeting.
