So I'm still with my XML file I'd like to translate and I have another issue with it, which is quite independent. The thing is I'd like to have all the translations in one file so I can then ship just this one file and the application using the file would then pick the right locale. So starting from my test file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <root> <global> <name>To be translated</name> <other>foo</other> <yetother>bar</yetother> </global> </root> I would like to get: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <root> <global> <name>To be translated</name> <name lang="fr">A traduire</name> <name lang="de">de--To be translated--de</name> <other>foo</other> <yetother>bar</yetother> </global> </root> That does not seem to be doable with the standard XML module or any other. I guess that means I should code my own. I'm a bit worried the infrastructure is not geared towards that kind of use though. For instance po4a-translate does not expect to be given multiple po files. Is there some code that does something similar and that I could use as a model? The only other similar case I can think of is the .desktop files, but as far as I can tell they are not supported by po4a and are not XML either. This new module could probably be made pretty general: take a tag and duplicate it, adding a lang attribute with the proper value. Ideally one would use a copy of the file with no translation at all as the source to avoid confusion. I don't know if anyone else would be interested in such a module though. -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr&gt; http://fgouget.free.fr/ "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U
