Re: About multilingual websites

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

1) I tried to do "../cake/consol/cake i18n extract" from my /MyApp/
app/ path and it says:

Welcome to CakePHP v1.2.4.8284 Console
---------------------------------------------------------------
App : app
Path: /Users/thomas/Sites/MyApp/app
---------------------------------------------------------------
What is the full path you would like to extract?
Example: /Users/thomaus/Sites/MyApp/myapp
[Q]uit
[/Users/thomaus/Sites/MyApp/app] >

I don't get why it does so.

2) Is there a clear and updated tutorial or blog to do multilingual
applications with CakePHP?
I found this one http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/p28n-the-top-to-bottom-persistent-internationalization-tutorial
but it's completely out-of-date...

About the plural form, is this blog correct?
http://nik.chankov.net/2008/11/20/translating-plural-and-singular-forms-in-cakephp/

Thanks in advance,
