OK. So the framework is updating the languages files in my app based on
translations in other apps (e.g., admin and appadmin)?
But only if a website visitor requests a page in that language, correct?
So I'm imagining the following algorithm:
- website visitor with a 'pl' language preference visits my site
- goes to a page with T("Hello")
- web2py looks for /myapp/languages/pl.py
- web2py looks for "Hello" in that file
- can't find it, so it checks /appadmin/languages/pl.py
- finds a translation in that file
- updates /myapp/languages/pl.py with this translation
- shows visitor the translated text
Is that about right?
