`po_slave_languages` is used to set the list of supported "slave"
languages, such as:
- po_slave_languages => [ 'fr' => 'Français',
+ po_slave_languages => { 'fr' => 'Français',
'es' => 'Español',
'de' => 'Deutsch',
- ]
+ }
Decide which pages are translatable
-----------------------------------
An integration branch, called `meta-po`, merges [[intrigeri]]'s `po`
and `meta` branches, and thus has this additional features.
+Language display order
+----------------------
+
+Jonas pointed out that one might want to control the order that links to
+other languages are listed, for various reasons. Currently, there is no
+order, as `po_slave_languages` is a hash. It would need to be converted
+to an array to support this. (If twere done, twere best done quickly.)

Double commits of po files

+New pages not translatable
+--------------------------
+
+Today I added a new English page to l10n.ikiwiki.info. When I saved,
+the page did not have the translation links at the top. I waited until
+the po plugin had, in the background, created the po files, and refreshed;
+still did not see the translation links. Only when I touched the page
+source and refreshed did it finally add the translation links.
+I can reproduce this bug in a test site. --[[Joey]]
