Module specific resource configuration in application.ini

Question

Can I config a resource to be different when a specific module is used?

From what I have read in the documentation (example #12) this should be possible. But I have had no luck with it yet.

In detail, I'm trying to set another path for translation files.

resources.translate.adapter = "array"
resources.translate.data = APPLICATION_PATH "/views/languages"
resources.translate.options.scan = "filename"
resources.translate.options.disableNotices = true
resources.translate.options.logUntranslated = false 
mobile.resources.translate.data = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules/mobile/views/languages"

From the docs

Example #12 Configuring Modules

You can specify module-specific configuration using the module name as a prefix or sub->section in your configuration file.

For example, let's assume that your application has a "news" module. The following are INI >and XML examples showing configuration of resources in that module.

1. [production]
2. news.resources.db.adapter = "pdo_mysql"
3. news.resources.db.params.host = "localhost"
4. news.resources.db.params.username = "webuser"
5. news.resources.db.params.password = "XXXXXXX"
6. news.resources.db.params.dbname = "news"

I was missing a module Bootstrap file.

Added /modules/mobile/Bootstrap.php

<?php

class Mobile_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap {
}

Now things work, and the per module translation also (mentioned in comments on initial post).
