This week I had an interesting discussion with Ratnadeep Bhattacharjee about my previous try to solve javascript i18n needs and it quickly become obvious that my library is not sufficient and likely also wrong approach to the problem.

There are at least two unresolved issues with my current javascript i18n library:

• It doesn’t detect browser language settings and act accordingly.
• It’s one way only. After you changed the language used, you can’t change it again easily.

I’m sure these are not the only two problems, since I have a vague uneasiness about a few more things. Therefore I’d love to hear more thoughts about what you’d expect and need from such a library, before I continue down the possibly wrong path.
