    <p>EDIT: <strong>I would really like to see some general discussion about the formats, their pros and cons!</strong></p> <p>EDIT2: The 'bounty didn't really help to create the needed discussion, there are a few interesting answers but the comprehensive coverage of the topic is still missing. Six persons marked the question as favourites, which shows me that there is an interest in this discussion.</p> <p>When deciding about <strong>internationalization</strong> the toughest part IMO is the choice of storage format.</p> <p>For example the Zend PHP Framework offers the following adapters which cover pretty much all my options:</p> <ul> <li>Array : no, hard to maintain</li> <li><strong>CSV : don't know, possible problems with encoding</strong></li> <li><strong>Gettext : frequently used, poEdit for all platforms available BUT complicated</strong></li> <li><strong>INI : don't know, possible problems with encoding</strong></li> <li>TBX : no clue</li> <li>TMX : too much of a big thing? no editors freely available.</li> <li>QT : not very widespread, no free tools</li> <li><strong>XLIFF : the comming standard? BUT no free tools available.</strong></li> <li>XMLTM : no, not what I need</li> </ul> <p>basically I'm stuck with the 4 'bold' choices. I would like to use INI files but I'm reading about the encoding problems... is it really a problem, if I use strict UTF-8 (files, connections, db, etc.)?</p> <p>I'm on Windows and I tried to figure out how poEdit functions but just didn't manage. No tutorials on the web either, is <strong>gettext</strong> still a choice or an endangered species anyways?</p> <p>What about <strong>XLIFF</strong>, has anybody worked with it? Any tips on what tools to use?</p> <p>Any ideas for <strong>Eclipse</strong> integration of any of these technologies?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
