Re^4: Extracting appropriate language text from HTML data

Thanks for that.

I am currently treating each paragraph seperately using panic_languages to back out where no direct translation is available.

You have raised an interesting point in relation to should there be some overall scheme that balences the paragraph readability against document readability. But to do this there has to be a relationship between alternate parts of the text.

The current markup does not show how alternate parts relate but just what language that chunk is in. A better markup would indicate alternate parts and group them together.

Thanks

Given your database constraints, I'm not sure that you're going to come up with a 'better' solution. Given that not every chunk is available in all languages, you're (effectively) going to have to decide at each chunk what's going to be the 'best' piece of text to return at that point, and I can't at the moment see a more elegant way of doing that...
