Hi Harald,

thank you for your tips!
I think it's better to move this discussion outside the plone conference 
list, so we can discuss together with private mails or in a more 
appropriate list (developer list? I don't know). Probably we are a bit 
off topic here.

Anyway I'm not sure if I understand your proposal. If I have understood 
well the question, the new templer i18n locale local command should just 
add Mikko's .sh script with the choosen languages. After that there is 
no need to call templer i18nlocale, you should just modifying the 
LANGUAGES var and re-run the script.
Does it should work fine for you or am I missing something?

It depends on what kind of package are you developing.
It may be ok just for framework or policy packages, but for normal 
packages people commonly put translations into the package they are 
developing.
Personally I'd prefer the second option because it is a more frequent 
and generic use case.

Probably it's different because Plone is a framework with lots of 
packages, it is another use case.


Thank you for your hints!
