[OSGeo-Discuss] multi-lingual WMS-legends

  Hi all,

I'm currently building a multi-lingual Web-GIS application. One of the 
requirements is that the legends of the maps are multi-lingual. E.g. if 
the chosen language is English, the legend will say 'forest', whereas 
when the chosen language is Dutch it will say 'bos'. So no need to have 
all the languages in one image, using something like &lang=en is fine by me.

I've done a quick look in the mapserver documentation but it doesn't 
appear to support &lang for generating legends. Nor does the WMS 1.3.0 
specification for that matter.

Has anyone tried to do such a thing?

regards,
Steven
