[fusion-users] Language problems.

[Mike Adair]

Tomas,

In testing and developing the I18n for Fusion and OL, I found that 
setting the locale option for the browser only gets picked up after the 
browser is restarted.  That's not very intuitive, but I guess that most 
users would set that option once and leave it like that.

And in Javascript, we only have access to the 'navigator' object (which 
reflects the browser locale setting) - we don't have access to 
Accept-Language request headers which means request headers can only be 
read server-side, which means those headers have limited usefulness for 
a client like Fusion.

If you need dynamic language toggling, you can try putting a link on the 
page which calls Fusion.initializeLocale().

Those 2 translation files are where all the strings are intended to be 
stored but it is likely that there are still hardcoded English strings 
in Fusion, OL should have all it's strings in the OL translation file 
now.  We have an outstanding task is to go through and clean that up, 
but note that there will also be a lot of text that comes from the 
AppDef file for button labels, menu labels, etc.

And yes an Icelandic translation for Fusion (and for the OpenLayers part 
too!) would be appreciated.

I now have the settings "is, en, fr" in use, when I do "console.log(navigator.language)" just before the Fusion.locale is set in fusion.js I get en-GB. So, how does one make it so that the javascript reads "a correct" settings for the languages ? It is really painful realizing that the ultimatum is using a "locale=is" in the URL.
