I'm writing an application using Wicket/Hibernate and I need to support many languages. How to make good internationalization of user data in a PostgreSQL database? Thanks for any help/suggestions.

  • not sure i understand your needs. what kind of user data you like to i8n? Normally messages in different languages come from property files in wicket. – bert Jul 16 '10 at 18:01
  • Hi bert. An example could be a type of a location. In English you may have the following data in a database: a type of a location whci can be a building, a swimming pool, a house, etc. And in Swedish: byggnad, pool, hus. – Enzomatric Jul 16 '10 at 18:06

  • Hi donroby. It is not really the same question that I'm asking here. Since I would be using hibernate to get the data from database. I need something like django transmeta but for wicket/hibernate. – Enzomatric Jul 17 '10 at 12:41

There was an discussion way back on the ML. Key is using your own ResourceStreamLocator, see the discussion here:

Disclaimer, i have not used it, i just remembered the discussion.

hope it helped.
