Translation of Reply Messages
I'm wondering if anyone has worked out some way to translate reply messages easily? I'm guessing I probably need to make this happen on the GUI side of my application (Grase Hotspot), but what do other people do in a multi language environment? Thanks Tim

Umm, my guess is they don't and use message codes instead of string reply-messages? Unless of course you're wanting to translate messages from an upstream proxy, in which case, yes, do it in your GUI application. See if google translate has an API you can use. -Arran
Hello, this was the same problem for me and i ended up using a cloud based hotspot service of hotspotsystem.com . They host radius servers and also your splash pages and provide a multi language environment for the whole process. This also solved the problem of operating and maintaining servers, do the support and the responsibility is not mine :) On Mar 7, 2012, at 7:11 AM, Tim White wrote:

Radius reply through hotspot is generaly achieved by the splash page. This page is usualy a cgi our php kind, so you could easily translate it to one language or an other. In multilanguage platform (usualy assumed by php+mysql coding) you should manage with Language database, a tag dictionary database and the variable "HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE" where user prefered language is sent to the server. If you do not want the language selection to be set automaticly then you could use some Flags button that the user will choice(ie, this could the shortest way if you only support most common language ...En,Fr,Ge,Sp). Hotspot system is not the only one who do this translation, lot of CSP does it(Worldspot.net...And my self of course :)). The trouble with multilanguage comes if you use local splash page hosted on small memory router devices (ie:Coova on a WRT54GL), in this case it become near impossible to have multiple languages selection due to lake of memory .

You don't.

English. Or, ignore the Reply-Message, and use your own localized message. Alan DeKok.
