Translations as good or bad as Google makes them :grin:

Looks nice!

Google is very good in guessing what language the text is (auto detect), but the actual translations aren’t so goo. One idea.

There was
discussion about the translation mechanisms
 earlier. I think that it would be possible to build a generic translation administration on top of Vaadin. The best way to translate an application is to run the application and do the translation directly to the application in-place (rather than to separate property files).

  • Translate captions and descriptions
  • Use setData/getData to store translation keys (with context key)
  • Machine translate automatically using this Google Translate API
  • In-place translator window (for system administrators) bound to view and component

… just thinking out loud.
