Last night we released the beta version of i18n DB. i18n DB is an effort to create open-source resource bundles of commonly used text by leveraging crowd-sourcing. Key value pairs are organized in domains, enabling users to infer context and choose the most apropos set of key value pairs for their application. In addition, each i18n user can enter a new key text pair or supply an alternate value for an existing key value pair, creating a customized variant of a key value pair set.
We encourage all our multilingual visitors and users to participate. Each user can create a localized variant of any key text pair on the site. We believe that when the database becomes large enough, developers can use the i18n DB to create resource bundles for their internationalized software.
We are working to create an open-source package for i18n DB code base, JSPs, and Java source code included. As soon as the package is ready, I will post a link here. The downloadable package will help anyone to create and deploy a version of the i18n DB website.
