Hi,
Please let me know if the following makes sense:
I want to implement internationalization using always keys (codes) for
all T() occurrences, instead of using strings corresponding to one
specific default language.
I believe this is necessary (please correct me if I'm wrong) in the
following scenario: if I use 'en' as the default language and I wan to
use T('please enter your info'), then I can translate this string to
all other languages, BUT what would happen if I need to change the
translated string in english (e.g. from "please enter your info" to
"please type your info")?, then all other languages for that specific
translation will be gone (out or sync), correct?.
If we use keys/codes (instead of a default language), and require to
translate ALL languages (including 'en'), then I could make this
change without affecting all other languages, right?.
Do you see any problems with this approach?, do you have any
recommendations?.
Thanks,
Carlos
