Why not reverse the problem and use an alias mapping.
it would look like this :
{
	// english alias
	search = "search";
	find = "search";
	// french alias
	recherche = "search";
	trouve = "search";
}
then in you DA, you would overwrite :
public WOActionResults performActionNamed(String anActionName)
to check the alias and finaly execute the right action.

Hi guys,
I'm probably missing something obvious, but I just don't see it...
Is there any simple way to get a key from a string? assuming the string will be localized using the .plist method.


No. And even if there was, the best you would get is a list of keys that match the string. Keys are unique, strings don't have to me.
That's right, huum I didn't though about this...


I know I can compare the string I get with the string for each language using stringForKey, but I though there's a convenient way to get the key directly.

Why are you passing localized values to a direct action? Would it not be better to pass the key in the URL rather than the localized version?
search engine:), the name in the URL is very powerful, so I have no choice but use it in the url.
I could use Apache rewrite to translate it to the correct key internally, but it would be more difficult to maintain on the development machine...

I've been working on a new version of a website, with some parts that will be multilingual.
After reading about that, I decided to go the .strings way, with a localized .strings file (as the site isn't really dynamic).
It will be mostly DirectAction based.


So here's my question:
How can I access a key in my .strings file based on the value I got?
I mean, I know how to get the value from a key using WOResourceManager, but I'd like to ba able to request the opposite: the key based on (a localized) value.
That way I could make my DA more easier to maintain and a lot more smaller than explicitly write all the possible case in every language available.


I've red the WOResourceManager API, but without success.

Thanks for your help, have a nice sunday;)
