Droplist of translated month names

Hi Graham,

Does the translation need to happen in Omnis? I prefer to let the Web
Server
handle translations as much as possible (through JavaScript, PHP,
Python,
whatever you fancy). That way, most of the web page content is
centralised on
the server and easy to update by the web designer/developer. Chances are
you
will also have to do some translations for web pages that don’t
necessarily
come from the Omnis ultra-thin server.

In your case, I would set the months as variable names. In JavaScript,
it
would be something like:

…

The Translate method would do a lookup in an Array with keys “varMonth?”
and the current language.

So it’s probably very similar to what you had in mind with string
tables,
but I feel it will be easier to maintain.
