[Zope3-dev] i18n message factory in zope domain

[Baiju M]

Hi,
Should we create separate message factory in 'zope' domain for
each packages ? If so, can anyone explain why it should be like that.

Few weeks back a new message factory is created in
zope.i18nmessageid [1] . And now some packages use this directly.

I am bit confused now ...

No. I think each package that has translations should actually use its
*own* domain and ship with the translations. In an eggified world it
doesn't make sense to maintain translations centrally in zope.app.locales.

I think this was a mistake. I don't understand why this was done at all.
It's absolutely no problem to do

from zope.i18nmessageid import MessageFactory
_ = MessageFactory('zope')

instead of

from zope.i18nmessageid import ZopeFactory as _
