FlexLingo : open source run time language translations.
I’m just about ready to release a set of open source tools for flex runtime translations but wanted to gauge interest in the community for a set of tools.
The idea of runtime translations is something new to the flex community although within the Internet at large, users have been able to translate entire pages for sometime now. There are obviously a completely different set of problems with runtime translations in flex and so my goal has been to build tools to help build, translate, save, load, translations. But also to provide tools for apps to be translated on the fly if there was a case that needs it be. I’m using the Google Language Api to do the translation and the as3corelib to handle JSON responses from google.
A working example can be found here. The code will be available on googlecode real soon and I’ll make an announcement about it via my blog. If there are any flex developers interested and want to get involved with an open source project let me know.
Very interesting... This seems to be a very elegant way of translating applications.
Great effort! I would really like to look at the source.

@Graham, I'll have everything checked into GoogleCode within a day or so.
