-MIR INTERNATIONALIZATION HOWTO
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-this short howto explains how to use the internationalization
-features of mir and how you can translate mir to other
-languages. this is actually very easy:
-
-
-* properties files (step 1)
-
-add a new file to the bundles/ directory. it should
-be called exactly like the other files there, except
-for the language code, which is the part after the underscore.
-at the moment these files are called 'admin_XX.properties', so
-
-admin_de.properties contains the strings for the german language
-admin_en.properties is the one for english.
-admin.properties is always used as a fallback and contains imc
-spcific information at the moment (this should probably change)
-
-the correct language code for your language can be found at
-http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/iso639.htm, for example.
-
-
-* translation (step 2)
-
-the files just contain key and value pairs of the form
-key=value. if a value contains something like {0}, {1}, and so
-on, this means, that these placeholders are replaced when the
-phrase is used. this is for example used for the key
-show_from_to=showing from {0} to {1}. {0} and {1} get replaced
-with the number of the first and the last record shown.
-
-in you new file (say admin_es.properties) you translate every key
-into the appropriate phrase in your language.
-
-
-* adding keys to templates
-
-you can define additional keys just by adding them to the
-properties file and by referncing them in the freemaker template
-with ${lang("keyname")}. you should do that every time you need
-a language specific string!
-
-
-* renaming keys
-
-some keys might not have a perfectly fitting name at the moment.
-if you want to rename a key, please take care that you rename it
-in ALL properties files and ALL templates. take care.
