[Nitro] Localization

[Michael Fellinger]

Hey List,
I've been playing around with localization now for a while and noticedsome, well, a bit annoying problems.First of all, Localization is not in the default-pipeline. I know thisdecision was made a while ago and just want to confirm that this isreally what everyone wants.IMHO localization is one of the important things every moderatly largeproject needs, although most of the nitro-pages are stillenglish-only, it might be a nice addition to all of them to have it athand when you need it.Well, i don't want to clutter the pipeline, but mine looks atm like that:
Compiler.setup_template_transform do |template|  template = StaticInclude.transform(template)  template = Morphing.transform(template, self)  template = Elements.transform(template, self)  template = Markup.transform(template)  template = ScriptCompiler.transform(template, self)  template = Localization.transform(template)  template = Cleanup.transform(template)  template = Template.transform(template)end
all of that only to get localization running... and everytime thedefault-pipline changes i have to reflect all the changes in here,making upgrades a bit tiresome...How large would be the overhead of having the localization in the default?
Well, another thing is, i have made a nice little interface to updatethe localization on the fly, while the application is running. I addedthe controller and template below.My question is, could we integrate this one in the part/admin to beused only when the localization is included? i'm not sure how to checkfor that, so i would like to ask someone to give me a hint on that andif it is wanted at all - at least it's making the whole localization abit less tiresome - imagine having to restart the server all the timeto only change a word :)oh, and if you take a closer look at the template, it's a bit weirdbut the only way i could make this work...
thx in prev~~~~manveru
