Hi Kim, Thanks for your time and effort in setting up the language template -- All Java coders have the foundations to hack in other environments :-)
>From what I see the Language template requires the installation of the relevant language localisation? Or is it possible to set up sub pages, for example in the English WikiEducator for a language install which doesn't exist yet? mmm -- this is a great opportunity for two projects: 1) Developing a tutorial on how to use this feature 2) To institute a work group using our new draft policy for Workgroups to start working on a language policy for WE. See: http://wikieducator.org/Workgroup:WikiEducator_Workgroups/Guidelines We have a growing and active community of Wikieducators who are working on translations. There are also existing translations, for example for some of our training materials in Portuguese and French. We really need to think about multilingualism in WE. At which point do we install a localisation? Ideally when there is a critical mass of users -- but what is critical mass, etc. etc. Great initiative -- thanks for being bold!
