Introduction to various i18n subsystems in Plone

Plone has three different internationalization subsystems

  • Translating user interface text strings: zope.i18nmessageid package. This is translation work the developers do. Internally GNU gettext machinery is used.
  • Adapting locale specific settings for the site, like time format - plone.i18n package. This is translation work site integrators usually do.
  • Managing multilingual content - Products.Linguaplone add-on product. This is translation work site editors usually do.
