Hi,

I'm erlativrly new to this maillist but some questions I'd like to clear 
from the very beginning...

Modifications of .py code, which is partr of Zope or part of Products 
involves extremely uneffective use of human resources.

I.1) Someone modifies .py code to make it i18nable.
I.2) Someone localizes messages.

II) Someone do the same because he urgently need localized product

III) Another one is localizing set of products because his company want 
to have them for dispozal in close future.

In short time new version of product appeas ZWiki 1.0.

And those who need extra features of 1.0 are repeating i18n again.



Isn't it waste of resources. What is EuroZope opinion about this? If 
Zope includes some generic interface to internationalization itself then 
our life would become just simple. We should push it as a component into 
their Component Architecture. i18n of Zope itself could be done by ZC 
easily. And i18n contributions to Products (such as ZWiki) would become 
a part of CVS really soon. Then everyone will benefit from that efforts. 
If somone want to use ZBabel - let him do that. If Localizer - 
excellent, but this should be transparent. And thus I see contacting 
EuroZope and ZC really important. Sorry if all this was proposed before 
and this message is redundant. Then I'd ask you to give me some 
dirtections (URLs) to discussions regarding the issue.

With best regards,

Myroslav
