PageTranslations
Release 1.0 - ...
PageTranslations enable you to define page-local translations that behave just like normal translations, except that they are scoped to the current rendering.
Example 1
| Smartsite SXML |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
<se:pagetranslations id="dates">
<se:collection>
<se:member name="display(date)">
{datetime.format(translation.arg(1), 'd MMMM yyyy, HH:mm')}
</se:member>
</se:collection>
</se:pagetranslations>
|
|
| Smartsite SXML |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
<se:pagetranslations id="links">
<se:collection>
<se:member name="menu(number)">
<se:xlinks displayfields="nr, title, adddate, moddate" parent="{translation.arg(1)}">
<se:parameters>
<se:parameter name="format">
<se:rowformat>
<li>
<a href="{this.location()}">{this.field(title)}</a>
<br />
<small>Added {translation.dates.display(this.field(adddate))},
last modified {translation.dates.display(this.field(moddate))}
</small>
</li>
</se:rowformat>
</se:parameter>
<se:parameter name="resultformat">
<ul>
{this.result()}
</ul>
</se:parameter>
</se:parameters>
</se:xlinks>
</se:member>
</se:collection>
</se:pagetranslations>
|
|
...so we can use the following syntax:
| Smartsite SXML |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
{translation.links.menu(1675)}
|
|
Example 2
| Smartsite SXML |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
<se:pagetranslations id="images">
<se:collection>
<se:member name="thumb(location, width, alttext)">
<se:image
location="{translation.arg(1)}"
width="{translation.arg(2, default=100)}"
alttext="{translation.arg(3)}"
/>
</se:member>
</se:collection>
</se:pagetranslations>
|
|
| Smartsite SXML |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
{translation.images.thumb(3,,'Smartsite iXperion Logo as thumbnail')}
|
|
...resulting in:
| HTML |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
<img src="/smartsite.net?id=IMG_IXPERIONLOGO&hid=img;w=100" alt="Smartsite iXperion Logo as thumbnail" style="width:100;height:24" /> |

Conclusion
Page-local translations are ideal for modularizing your business logic. They behave exactly like normal translations but are scoped to the current page rendering. Consider them as your utility toolbox: you can even place them in normal translations and use them like you would use javascript libraries.
