The only way i know (but i think perhaps it isn't the best) is this http://i18n.kde.org/translation-howto/doc-translation.html If we want to apply this workflow to docbook website sites, i think we must to follow the next process: 1. create docbook-original.xml files and layout.xml file. 2. generate docbook.po (xml2po) files and translate them (trasnlators task) 3. generate docbook-translated.xml files (po2xml). 4. generate html files with xslt processor, hacking layout.xml to make the new docbook-translated.xml files. This 4th step will be as automatic as possible. At the end of that we will have all the pairs (if we only are translating to a second language) of html files: file1.html.en file1.html.es (sorry but i don't know if i'm explaining well what i want to say, perhaps i need a best translation too ;) > I think that is where Norm and his ideas are very good. > > > If you use apache, > > That is serving the content. > A separate problem? > or do you see that as a part of the transformation, > selecting the presentation language dependant on ... what? > > How can I tell a users preferred language? > Perhaps some pre-selected option from the web site front page? > I's content management server task. -- Luis Miguel No a las patentes de software en Europa EuropeSwPatentFree http://EuropeSwPatentFree.hispalinux.es
