Sean Corfield blogged about which Fuseboxers will be at MAX and I suggest we get together there. And if you have your Got Fusebox t-shirt wear it so other Fuseboxers can find you!
Whether you are a Fuseboxer or not please take our MAX and training survey to say what events and training you like. One luck person will win a free ticket to CFUNITED. Thanks!
I had another preview presentation for my whole day class at CFUnited "Multi Lingual (i18N) Applications in CF, Theory & Practice".
You can check the recording via the following link:

If you would like to have more information about the class and to register, you can check the CFUnited Classes pages at http://cfunited.com/go/classes.
Please feel free also to contact me regarding ColdFusion and i18N applications. I will try to answer any questions that you have and blog them here.
Thanks!
I will present a preview of my day-long class "Multi Language Applications in CF in Theory and Practice" at the Thursday 31 May 2007 of the "The Online ColdFusion Meetup Group". It will be based on Adobe Connect and will takes around 20-30 min as base session and then questions and answers.
You can reach detailed information at "http://coldfusion.meetup.com/17/calendar/5827901/". If you plan to check this out, please do not forget to RSVP.
You can find detailed information about my class at the CFUnited site and register for the class on page "http://cfunited.com/go/classes".
I would like to ask your suggestions for preparing a presentation.
I will present a whole day class just before CFUnited (http://cfunited.com/go/classes) on "Multi Language Applications in CF in Theory and Practice", and I would like to know what topics would be interesting to cover.
I specially would like to focus on best practices with some different techniques and share some sample applications with basic implementation and also with some well known frameworks usage such as Fusebox or Model Glue. But meantime I also would like to get your ideas & suggestions about this topic.
I am developing CF applications since '97 and I already created more than 100 multi language project and I have some experience to share in i18N & L10N. But still I am open to any kind of ideas that would be interesting for this class.
Thanks in advance.
In order to reach international markets through the Internet, supporting different cultures through our applications is essential for being successful. ColdFusion MX comes with an integrated infrastructure for creating international applications.
The internet is continuing to make the world a smaller place. Multi-lingual sites are becoming essential for many businesses, especially those that market products internationally.
The multi-language application is not an auto-translator like those found on Google or Babel Fish. Adding multi-language capabilities other than English should be done from the ground up. All the code that represents the language to the user (buttons, menus, prompts, help, text, dialog-boxes, etc.) must be found and altered to support language independence. This problem multiplies exponentially when you deal with applications that have hundreds of thousands of lines of code, which have been created over time and modified constantly by different developers. Hard-coding the language dependent text within your view code makes the process of adding multilingual capability extremely complex. One will have to develop an individual application for every language he wants to support. Maintaining such a program will be yet another headache.
So, we need to define a way to create multilingual applications as straightforward as possible.
In this case, I would like to let you know that I will present a whole day class just before CFUnited: "Multi Language Applications in CF in Theory and Practice"
I will show best practices while coding with ColdFusion and interacting with related platforms such as databases, Java, XML etc. As a developer who has already programmed more than a hundred multi lingual websites in different languages such as German, Norwegian, Turkish, Arabic, and Korean, I would like to share my experiences in this class.
If you are trying to create multi language applications from scratch, or if you have applications you want to modify but would like to learn best practices or even if you have plan to have ability to use international names such as "René" or "João", you need to attend this class to learn best practices with code examples.
