SuperNTF - Feature Request: Use profile docs to allow users to select language preference


Martijn de Jong's profile doc approach to multilingual apps, mentioned here: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/bpmpblog.nsf/dx/upsndowns?opendocument&comments

Here are the rough specs we're looking to achieve:

1 - Abstract most/all SuperNTF core text labels, messages, etc. so they are stored as values in a single "translation profile" document for each target language.
2 - Auto-detect a user's language preference and display the database with that translation profile (if available), or the default one (typically english)
3 - Allow a user to override their language preference by storing it in a user profile doc, such that regardless of the language version of the Notes client/browser, the database will display in the language selected.
4 - Custom Form field labels could be in separate profile docs, one for each form/language combo - tbd

more thought required...

In this field you can enter the actual request.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
