Hello Jean-François,
I may be wrong, but my problem is the opposite.
I have to had urls like:
French: http://www.domain.com/fr/une-page-en-français
English: http://www.domain.com/en/a-page-in-english
with a .strings file with:
aPage = "a-page-in-english"
localized in
aPage = "une-page-en-Français"
And in my DA, I'd like to be able to directly get the key aPage from
whatever localized string (either a-page-in-english or une-page-en-
Français in this case).
I'm not even sure I made myself clear;)
so here's what I want to do:
-get each part of the url in a separate variable (for example,
language and pagename)
-get the corresponding key for pagename
-passing the language to the pagename component
Basically that's what I'd like.
I'll try to rethink that a little bit...
Thanks,
Xavier
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;)
