Over the past few years, I have worked on a few projects that require internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) configuration files. The best way I have found is to use the domain key approach. This allows for fine-tuned control in your translations to each “page” or domain.

Let’s start by drawing a mental picture of the moment we are all too familiar with. You have a great idea for a project, you know every piece of a project except for one thing, the design.
