[Sugar-devel] playing w/ i18n

[Bryan Berry]

i think it is key that we can mark strings as translatable without
making the html invalid. 

I like the idea of picking up certain tags by default like title, meta
tags, and then picking up h1, h2, etc. unless they have the lang=""
attribute specified.  Then it would be nice to pick up everything else
that belongs to the class="translate". What u think?

I am looking thru src of html2po and it appears that the primary fault
is that it uses the horrible HTMLParser.py   webunit.HTMLParser.py
instead of  something more sane like lxml or beautiful soup

it may be easier to swap out HTMLParser for lxml than improve html2po on
top of HTMLParser

I will play w/ lxml and html2po to see what i can work out.

re: beautiful soup vs. lxml . My heart is w/ lxml, enjoyed working w/ it
before and seems to have better css selectors than beautiful soup.

tks again for your help sayamindu!
