Re: [Gnumed-devel] Updating dem listings for Brazil

[Karsten Hilbert]

no need to JOIN, simply pass whatever you want to translate:

   select _('string to translate', 'target language')

this is an SQL function provided by GNUmed



Also, may I suggest using pt rather than pt_BR for the translations.

That way all pt_* locales would benefit from the translations as
opposed to Brazil only. This, btw, also demonstrates the main drawback
of this approach: it will only work for the pt_* locale, users in
other locales won't see the accented strings unless they explicitely
select pt_* at which point they'd also start seeing other database
content being translated to pt_* (say, EMR journal non-data strings).

I'll implement a solution for this: a translation target called "generic"
which is accessed by _() after checking *_*, * but before returning
the untranslated string. So the flow would go

check pt_BR
 -> no match?: check pt
        -> no match ?: check "generic"
              -> no match ?: return original
