[Rule-list] translations for slinky

[hairylarry at deltaboogie.com]

Hi,

I created tables for the apps database. They are apps and deps in 
the rule sql database. 

Rodolfo is going to start a table for the test pc forms.

Rodolfo, we need to use a standard web interface for the rule 
database so data entry and browsing is the same for any table. What 
do you recommend? Is there somthing you are already using on your 
server?

I thought we could start a table for translations. Like this:

id integer 11 - autoincrement
varname char 20 - i.e. $warning
en text - Warning! You are about to install ...
de text - German translation
.
.
.

To add another prompt just add another record.

To add another language just add another field with the appropriate 
abbreviation.

We could make this accessible to all rule translators so there would 
be no additional job of organizing the translations. Translators would 
enter their translations in at any time. If during testing a translation is 
improved it is just as easily fixed, right then, on the web.

This table would then be used to output the language files for the 
slinky installer.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Hairy Larry
