But - "ah there's the rub" (to quote the Prince of Denmark) - the page around it is in English even when English is not selected (the title/logo of the page remains "LibreOffice Help" - it is rendered so it should be rendered in all help languages, the navigation links are all English (Main Page, Community Portal, etc.). I guess the direct link to that language version should open the page also in the same wiki-language, i.e. Hungarian help in the wiki should be displayed with the Hungarian wiki-interface etc. Could this be done? I guess this should be default actions for all the wiki top page links to same pages translated in other languages (why would one want to see the page in one's native language and have all the wiki navigation links and the logo in English?). > From now on, the pages have the language choice at the top; if not, it > is necessary to clear the wiki's cache using action=purge for that page, > like: > > http://help.libreoffice.org/index.php5?title=Chart/Charts_in&action=purge > > [where Charts/Charts_in is the name of the page where you don't see the > language choice]. > > Unfortunately, I did not find a way to clear the cache for the entire > wiki at one go, sorry for that.

And now some observations with this online help implementation: It is not as useful as the installed help yet - there is no tree of pages to browse through (you cannot know if there is a subpage to this help page or a page above it in the hierarchy etc.), the search results are hardly human-readable and informative. If you want users to prefer this help, the help content structure should be presented in some way and search should be better or at least as in the installed help. Also, once you have a help page opened, you are not interested in other language versions of the same page, but of the main help page of your language, of similar help pages / topics in your language - the help frame around the help page should be more same-language-help informative and not same-page-in-other-languages informative. And one should have a feeling that one arrived at the heart of LO help offering - the place to be when in need of help with LO. So there should be some references automatically added to the documentation pages in that same language, to the mailing lists etc. To make it short - the frame in which this page content is displayed should be more - helpful to the user. And fully localizable.
