[OpenLayers-Dev] tips for using i18n

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hey Mike,

that example doesn't work for me against trunk. It overrides all the
existing keys in en and fr.

This does work:

var myEnglishStrings = {
'myTest': "these are user defined strings"
}

OpenLayers.Util.extend(OpenLayers.Lang.en, myEnglishStrings);

Best regards,
Bart
