Bug706572 localization v2 #897
Conversation
Adding i18n to wsapi. Split strings into client.po and messages.po. Switched email from mustache to EJS templates. Created fake locale db-LB for development and debugging. Updated scripts. See http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc?view=revision&revision=99911

I would rather one of these redirect to the other, so we stop bookmarking both.

overall, this patch looks good, except for one fairly important thing I would strongly suggest tweaking. The i18n overhead on a request appears to be non-negligible, just from eyeballing the amount of code that's run. But in fact we only need to do all of this stuff on two API calls that relate to sending email. Fortunately, every wsapi call is in its own file with its own metadata now. So we can easily add exports.i18n = true; in those wsapi calls that need it, and your middleware can bail early if i18n is not needed for a given call. |

I'm waiting for r+ before landing this on dev. I'll merge again to keep the PR merge button green. |

@ozten and I consulted gerv, and now understand that the final outstanding issue is removing the GPL licensed implementation of gettext(), as it would mean we couldn't release browserid under MPL without violating his license. Specifically, this library is the issue: https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/blob/a725d667e4ce537404006037d1d72a7c5fd6a1d7/resources/static/shared/gettext.js Choose your own adventure: rewrite, choose another, or contact the author? |

Lame. Sorry about that and thanks @lloyd for spotting this legal bug. There are several client side gettext to choose from. I'll remove and stub out, then replace with a functioning gettext. |
