Revision as of 16:26, 19 February 2007
As L20n is in its very early stages, the current examples are pretty rudimentary and tailored to show the feasibility of particular aspects. They're not all working on the same fileformat either, merely because that makes them easier to implement. Examples will be listed in chronological order, the further you go down, the bigger will be the differences compared to what's supposed to be the end result.
Right now, all demos are implemented in js, with varying use of the dojo toolkit, for no particular reason.
Von allen Gedanken
This revision added macros and expressions, and is the first time we can do demos for plurals again, which happens to be the only new sample this cycle, too. All Meet Pete examples work without modification.
Plurals demo
This demo shows how to create a macro and how to call into it to create strings depending on unknown quantities.
Meet Pete
These demos are based on a pretty good grammar for the file formats, but don't support expressions yet, that's why there are no plural demos in this section. Meet Pete is the code name for this version.
App-Toolkit demo
This demo shows how to compose strings from two separate files, and how to make the resulting string look good. A typical example of a string from toolkit using the application name.
Tested on Firefox 2.
Accesskeys demo
This sample shows how to keep things together that belong together. In this case, that happens to be the value and the accesskey attributes for a HTML button. (Sadly, the accesskey doesn't work in fx2, tips?)
Language fallback
This sample shows how to implement one locale falling back to another. Using en-GB and en-US with en-GB falling back to en-US is merely because I don't speak any interesting languages, but the fallback path is totally programmatic and can be any locale to any other.
