Localized Views

[stanislas-m]

We already have a way to handle translations for pieces in a template. Sometimes, it's better to create a specific page for a language (for instance, when a page is static). A good example is gobuffalo.io: all markdown documentation pages will be difficult to maintain if we extract all strings, and some samples have a better value if they are translated too.

Localized Views

Rails supports this use case like that: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_view_overview.html#localized-views. Using a file suffix, the developer can provide a version for a specific language, or use a non-suffixed version as a fallback.

@stanislas-m I like this idea!! could we initially build it outside the framework (in gobuffalo) and then move it inside buffalo?

I think this is a great idea. It shouldn't be too hard to implement either. @stanislas-m would you like to take lead on this one?

[stanislas-m]

@markbates No problem. :)
