About: Tool Evaluation
Tasks
The tools we should analyse have several tasks:
- finding the strings into the source code and extract them
 - give the possibility to translate in a friendly environment
 
problems, ideas, further development
some problems/ideas that may go with the other parts of this project as well:
- The i18n can be put online as a database that everyone can update (thus helping translation in many more languages)
 - The main database can be updated as soon as something new for eiffel comes out (by updated here is meant simply adding the new messages, not their translations)
 - A 2nd database can be placed on the user's pc and autoupdate eiffel and the additional content one may have when needed (when a new version of Eiffel or a new tool is available for example), with this system one doesn't need to download every time a new file containing some information already downloaded before
 - Unicode problem
