The PmWiki/ group is in Latin-1 encoding, but a number of PmWikiXx/ languages are in UTF-8 or other encodings, and it is not easy to embed page text variables like the "language name" from the other groups. So we write them in that page, in html-entities. Until we switch all groups to UTF-8, I don't see a way to do it, a way that would be easier and simpler than now (your example "2" embeds PTVs, it is just not easier or simpler). I think this page (or another, if we move the list) should be editable by newcomers, so someone could link and start a new translation without needing us to do something. > (2) I note a list of translated languages obtained by pagelist in > PmWiki/Internationalizations (anything with name=PmWiki* and $:Language=-) This pagelist doesn't need updating, it is automatic, although it could be optimized: it would be faster to find the groups with name=*.XLPage instead of scanning all pages in all PmWiki* groups for a PageTextVariable. > (3) I note a list of translated languages in the footer of all pages in the > PmWiki group, coming from Site.I18nFooter (in one of 2 complete lists > contained within this page, separated by a conditional). Site.I18nFooter is included in every documentation page in every language. A predefined list of pages is much faster than a dynamic pagelist. In the past it was a pagelist, but because pmwiki.org felt slow, and because languages were not added or removed very often, we changed it to the current fixed list. I prefer that more advanced users edit this page, as it appears on most pages on pmwiki.org. > Wouldn't it be better to use the same source in all cases? Or at least for > the 1st and 3rd cases?

I'll think about it. Thanks! Petko _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
