In Aida there is a multilingual support including later translation
support of your web app to different languages.

If you put your text directly in your code, you can later make it
translatable easily by changing it to a literal association, with
language code of original text as key and original text as value. For
instance:

Original code looks like:

	e addText: 'Bonjour'

To enable it to become multilingual:

    e addText: #fr->'Bonjour'.

Ok, so far nothing happened on this page, there is still Bonjour, but
this text now became in-line editable (if your session is in translation
mode). So, to translate this text in Spanish, you would first change
default language of your session to Spanish:

	http://localhost:8888/myapp?language=es

Now click to edit that Bonjour to Hola and that's it. Aida goal namely
is to make as simple as possible for translators to translate your web
app in other languages.

Translations are stored on the class side of App classes, so they are
easily maintained through regular Smalltalk source code systems.
