localization and internationalization

[jeubanks]

We have a dilemma, and I hope you can help me out. We are doing business on an
international level, and need our cold fusion pages to translate the English
information into a locale. Currently, we are using mysql with a jdbc driver
because it supports utf-8 encoding. However, we are also paying people to do
the translations and putting that into locale tables in the database. Does
cold fusion allow for the translation of such information when it is pulled
from the database, base upon what the machine specific locale is? For example,
we have everything in U.S. English format. We only want to have the U.S.
English version in the database, and have cold fusion do the translation as it
queries and pulls that information out.



If you could get back in touch with me asap, that would be great, as this is
very urgent.



Sincerely,



John Eubanks

if you mean will cf do machine translations for you, "no". if you mean can you
use machine translations via cf, "yes" (but i wouldn't recommend machine
translations for anything of any value).

is that what you meant?
