RE: [xsl] Internationalization

You may want to look at the Apache Cocoon project.  It has a whole set of
capabilities for handling exactly this problem.  Depending on your needs,
learning Cocoon can be a bit like learning how to fly a 747 when all you
want to do is get across town...  It's big and poorly documented (though
getting better), but the Cocoon users mailing list is pretty responsive.  If
you do have a look at it pay particular attention to the I18N examples. 

BTW, Cocoon requires a servlet engine to run it on; Tomcat works well if you
don't have anything else...

Subject: [xsl] Internationalization


I'd like to dynamically generate a web page based on a viewer's preferred 
language. My basic concept is to keep a generic skeleton of the page 
structure with empty elements on a web server, and add in the text nodes 
on-the-fly with XSLT when the page is served, using some sort of lookup
table.

Can anyone suggest how I might efficiently implement such a table? It would 
be nice if I could utilize non-Latin character sets as well as Latin sets. 
This is aimed at browsers which support the W3C DOM, not earlier browsers.

Regards,
Brian
