Re: Striping out html tags from translation string?

Actually, I taugth it was possible. I saw the last example of this page:

http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/ZPTInternationalizationExamples

and that's what I understood. But after doing some test, I figured out that 
it is
impossible.

Anyway, responding to your question, I think one could use some kind of
regular expressions scanning, but it would include a low perfomance
effect. So, I think for this example is easier to pass the html tags. For 
more
complicated examples like the one named before, some kind of local
content like the one that localizer offers would do the trick.

Yeah, you are right, the thing is that one could stip the html tags, send it
to the translation service, but the returned translated string won't have 
the
html format.

Yes, that's why I've done till now.
