I am creating a multilingual site that will need to support at minimum five different languages, including Korean and Chinese. The site language is ColdFusion, so Java is the native language. I want to make the site as easy as possible for the next programmer to update, and for third-party translators to use tools that will work easier for them than digging through a SQL database.
So far I have come across Resource Bundles, GNU’s GetText, and TMX.
Which do you recommend and why?
Resource Bundles are my preferred choice. I have found they are kind to future programmers, self documenting in many ways, and, make it easy to manage subcontracting the translators. They have kept things simple, reduced my technology stack and have yet to fail me.
Good luck with your project, and, thank you for making life easier for the next developer. I wish more people thought like you.
