Hello Leslie!

Thank you for your reply.

I would be actually happy to take care of this library! There is one last thing I would want to write before release my version: a function to convert the dictionary file to the new format as it have been deeply changed unfortunately.

I hope to complete this task this weekend.

Anyway, consider me for collaboration, just write me.

Thank you.
C.

Please submit a diff patch or offer to take over maintenance of cl-i18n.

Hello,

I think i have added the features Frank asked for, not sure if it works as expected anyway! :)

I kindly ask to the main authors of the library to show their interest in these modifications if any.

Bye.

Hi there,

yep, I’d be interested to have multiple languages loaded at the same time. I’d also like to have support switching between languages immediately by setting the “current lang”.

Cheers
Frank

Hello!
I have improved the library and now there is a primitive way to deal with plurar forms.

Please let me know if interested.

Bye.

Hello!

I have modified utils.lisp so that (in my opinion) it should deal well with strings that contains a quoted double quotes (\”) character.

Moreover i think i have improved the ‘generate-i18n-file’ function with a simple approximated string matching when an existing translation file is updated.

If you are interested in merging this patch, please write to me.

FWIW, there’s a Lisp implementation of gettext (that uses gettext .mo files; you use the normal gettext tools for everything) in Maxima: http://maxima.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/maxima/maxima/src/intl.lisp

Did you look at CL-L10N ?

Can someone tell us the main advantages/disadvantages of the new CL-i18n comparing to CL-L10N ?

Yeah, I know this document.

I don’t have time to work on a comprehensive framework like this, but maybe Slava from Weblocks will do so.

In the meantime, try cl-i18n; with format strings it’s more powerful than you might think.

The problem is, simple i18n solutions are guaranteed to not work; see http://perldoc.perl.org/Locale/Maketext/TPJ13.html for why. Per-language functions, and a clean way of embedding them, are really a requirement. I hope you’ll include MakeText-like things like this so I don’t have to write my own. :)
