[silva-dev] Two questions concerning i18n

Silva specific patched version of what? 
i18nextract is: v 1.3 2004/11/26 14:38:48 faassen
I prepared the Formulator form.xml by adding '<i18n_domain>my_domain</i18n_domain>', I didn't prepare the metadata xml at all. However, looking at the result of the i18nextract  run I saw that all the texts of these xml have been neatly extracted. Therefore, I translated them, but now, I don't see the translations displayed.

Greetings,
Benno
