http://www.silverwareconsulting.com/index.cfm Some stuff about ColdFusion and Transfer en-us Thu, 09 Sep 2010 04:57:02 -0400 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:49:00 -0400 BlogCFC http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss bob.silverberg@gmail.com bob.silverberg@gmail.com http://www.silverwareconsulting.com/index.cfm/2009/6/1/ValidateThis-075--Now-Supports-Internationalization-i18n A developer named Mischa Sameli asked a question about supporting internationalization (i18n) in ValidateThis!, my validation framework for ColdFusion objects, on the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/validatethis" target="_blank">ValidateThis Google Group</a> a few weeks ago. His questions got me thinking about how I might do that, and those thoughts turned into design ideas, which turned into code. So I'm happy to announce that the latest version of VT, just released to <a href="http://validatethis.riaforge.org/" target="_blank">RIAForge</a>, has full support for i18n. I have created a <a href="http://www.validatethis.org/i18nDemo/index.cfm" target="_blank">new i18n demo</a> which shows off this new feature in all of its glory. If you visit that demo page you'll see that you can switch languages between English and French.</p> <p>So, what does i18n support in VT mean? In a nutshell, it means that all validation failure messages, both on the client side and on the server side, can now appear in multiple languages within a single application. A developer still only has to specify the metadata for each validation rule once (which is the primary objective of the framework), with the translations being performed by a translation layer.
