Re: Switching main HTML files

I believe that Dashboard for every src-attribute (for example <script src="" />) searches the widget root folder first, and if the file isn't found there it goes into the locale folders according to the settings in Mac os.

You might want to try iframes, since those also have an src attribute. Make your index.html contain nothing but an iframe that points to main.html and then place a localized copy of main.html in each locale-folder that you require. For example:

/index.html (with <iframe src="" /> )
/en.lproj/main.html
/de.lproj/main.html
/fr.lproj/main.html

Not sure if it works (and localizing just the strings generally is a better solution) but it might be a quick (and dirty) fix for your problem.

I fear that would be a maintenance nightmare, but you're right, it
would work.

If I have to go the route of localized _javascript_ strings files, it
probably makes more sense to fully commit to Dashcode and duplicate
the main CSS file in each .lproj folder.  Adding new elements to the
layout presents problems, but Dashcode is smart enough to put
modifications in a locale in its CSS file, rather than the one at the
top level.
