Thanks Hans, So, one set of questions and a thought:
1a) if I set up a multilingual interface (commands) in the config.php, then that will hold for all wikigroups that do not have a specific language setting ? 1b) if I set up a multilingual interface (commands) for 4 languages in config.php, and one for only 2 languages on two specific wikigroups, will the 2-language setting prevail over the 4 language one in those wikigroups ? 2) I think I will have to examine the multilingual content options. It appears too simple: IOW, install multilanguage.php in the cookbook directory, a line in config.php and then the (: :) commands with the text in the wikipage.

Which > prevails? multilanguage.php will allow you to create pages with alternative language content inside the same page, and allows users to chose their preferred language, so they will see th epage content in their language. A cookie will hold the users language choice. The recipe will not change the language of the PmWiki interface, as the terms displayed for the action links, button labels etc. These can be displayed in different languages using the XL function and the respective XL pages. In order for these to switch at user's choice with multilanguage.php you need to provide switch definitions for the XLPages, as briefly mentioned on the recipe's cookbook page: if ($_COOKIE['userlang'] == 'de') { XLPage('de','PmWikiDe.XLPageCookbook'); XLPage('de','PmWikiDe.XLPage'); XLPage('de','PmWikiDe.XLPageLocal'); } if ($_COOKIE['userlang'] == 'it') { XLPage('it','PmWikiIt.XLPageCookbook'); XLPage('it','PmWikiIt.XLPage'); XLPage('it','PmWikiIt.XLPageLocal'); } etc. I think it should be okay to install the recipe for selected groups only in their local/GroupName.php files. There you can also define which languages a user may select from, using the DefaultLanguages array, as the example below: <?php if (!defined('PmWiki')) exit(); # Group.php file # user languages for this group $DefaultLanguages = array('en','it','de'); include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/multilanguages.php"); Hans
