After some researches on debian.org and a brief discussion with thos and
jdub in IRC, I'm posting the main ideas-guidelines to serve localized
pages on gnome.org:
1. there will be a menu somewhere that will let you choose your
favourite language. To override the Accept-language header we will need
to set a cookie and a server side script to check it and serve the
correct page.
2. using MultiViews apache option or a custom server side script we will
serve pages according to the cookie value (if its set) or to the
Accept-header (if present). I have no experience with MultiViews, but I
think the server side script is the best approach. I dont want to push
this approach too far, but since this script would be required in any
page, it could be named /index.[php|pl|cgi|whatever] and with a proper
UrlRewrite it could manage to server all the pages in any sub-dir. This
could raise a problem with current Rewrite entries in .htaccess
3. actual translation of content will take place through po-files as
requested by the i18n list [1]. At the moment I have no idea about how
to create such files (xml2po seems to be the way, though) and how to
integrate the translation provided into the pages. More on this in a
future mail.
Best regards,
flevour
