[html-formfu] I18N localization and Catalyst

[Johannes]

Thank you very much for your answer Carl!

It helped me to at least understand it a little better :-)

two things remained unclear:

After adding my I18N's via:

---
add_localize_object: 'MyApp::I18N'
indicator: submit
elements:
...

how can I make the label of a field localized? something like:

elements:
   - type: Text
     name: email
     label_loc: email
     constraints:
       - Required
       - Email

didn't do the trick.

The second question:
How do I tell HTML::FormFu's yml's to what language it should localize  
the constraint errormessages (e.g. which /FormFu/I18N/lang.pm to use  
for that certain request)?

it doesn't guess it by itself like $c->localize() does it in catalyst  
based on the browsers language defaults).


Thank you once more for your help,
Johannes
