Sadly I am no programmer. I have some very rudimentary skills that make me tweak some previous code if it is easy to do. This is way beyond my skills, sadly. But I made some searches... with almost no useful results and probably you know all this already :) ... but in case it might help whomever could work on this these are the results. There is a macro in the MoinMoing api to find if a page exist: https://moinmo.in/MoinAPI/Examples#Page.exists.28.29 I did not find anything on a way to extract the iso-code of the language (that does not mean it does not exist). The only ugly workaround I could think of is to search in the raw content of the page for "# language NN". But since there is the possibility of searching pages on the basis of their language there must be a better way to extract the language. Thanks a lot for the reply, beatrice

Personally I like the last option because it means almost zero work for translators, they just have to ensure the page language is declared correctly, which, from a small sample, appears to already be the case for probably many if not all of the translated pages. Would you be interested in working on this? If so, the Python code for Debian's custom macros is here: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wiki.debian.org/tree/master/var/moin/data/plugin/macro If not I can take a look at how to find the current page language and how to detect if the translated page exists, it should be easy to fix the code once those are known. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
Debian Wiki - macro like <> for translated pages?
Hi, I have been meaning to ask this since a while ago. Not too long ago macros like <>, <> have been implemented in the wiki. They get automatically replaced by the link to the correct page and thus the pages don't have to be manually corrected when there is a new release. Sadly this is not true for the translated pages. So far I opted to use the original macro and readers can then chose to move to the translated page if they prefer. This way at least the link points to the correct Debian version. Is it possible to implement similar macros for the translated pages. Something along the line of <> where NN is the language code, at least for those languages which ask for it? BTW, I did try a couple of combinations similar to " it/<>", thinking that if the macro points to the page Stretch, that would point to it/Stretch, but that does not seem to work. Maybe I am doing something wrong and there is a way to do something like this instead of creating macros. Thanks, beatrice --
