Many thanks to Jay Kominek for Perl scripting work. Only the main index is properly localized, and very little of it has actually been translated (or, at least, moved into the new translation format). *************************** OPINIONS NEEDED: The basic problem I'm having now is where to explain it on the site. Both using and adding to the translated versions is a bit complicated. Does this go in the FAQ? Does it get its own link? Multiple places? What? *Please* send me your opinions on this! You need not read the rest of this e-mail to have an opinion on that issue. *************************** The system is a bit complicated in a number of ways, but basically it boils down to this: For a user: Set the language preferences in your browser to one of the supported languages (currently French (fr), Esperanto (eo) and Lojban (art-lojban)). Obviously, how to do this should be described better. For a translator: Go to http://www.lojban.org/twiki/bin/view/Translations/Lojbanorg and edit one of the pages before the WARNING. Wait half an hour for the changes to appear If you want new supported languages, mail me. -Robin -- Me: http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** I'm a *male* Robin.
