TRANSLATION extension to the NAMESPACE response supported?
Hello,
I would like to ask if the TRANSLATION extension to the NAMESPACE response is supported by dovecot.

Thanks, Andreas

Afaict, Oracle currently has the only implementation of the LANGUAGE capability:
I haven't seen any plans for it in Dovecot so far and I think you are one of the first to request it. :)

Stephan.

This is not the LANGUAGE extension - this is namespace translations
(I18NLEVEL=1).
Dovecot has supported this since 1.1 according to that page.

What gives you that idea? From http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5255#section-1:
The LANGUAGE extension allows the client to request a suitable language for protocol error messages and in combination with the NAMESPACE extension [RFC2342 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2342] enables namespace translations.
Also, the TRANSLATION NAMESPACE extension itself is described in Section 3.4, which is part of Section 3 with title "LANGUAGE Extension".
I agree that this RFC could have been a bit more clear on this.
Regards,
Stephan.

My mistake.
I implemented this long ago, and I explicitly remember parsing the
extended namespace translation data. I assume this testing was done
against a Dovecot server. However, a look at the code indicates that
the testing was from static data in our unit tests. Whoops. I stand
corrected. This is part of LANGUAGE rather than I18NLEVEL=1.
LANGUAGE is pretty much worthless other than the namespace part ...
who cares if the human-readable text is translated since, other than
ALERT text, it is never shown to the end-user? That explains why
nobody has implemented it.
