`po_slave_languages` is used to set the list of supported "slave"
languages, such as:
- po_slave_languages => { 'fr' => 'Français',
- 'es' => 'Español',
- 'de' => 'Deutsch',
- }
+ po_slave_languages => [ 'fr|Français',
+ 'es|Español',
+ 'de|Deutsch',
+ ]
Decide which pages are translatable
-----------------------------------
lighttpd
--------
-lighttpd unfortunately does not support content negotiation.
+Recent versions of lighttpd should be able to use
+`$HTTP["language"]` to configure the translated pages to be served.
-**FIXME**: does `mod_magnet` provide the functionality needed to
- emulate this?
+See [Lighttpd Issue](http://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/show/1119)

Markup languages support
------------------------
-[[Markdown|mdwn]] is well supported. Some other markup languages supported
-by ikiwiki mostly work, but some pieces of syntax are not rendered
-correctly on the slave pages:
+[[Markdown|mdwn]] and [[html]] are well supported. Some other markup
+languages supported by ikiwiki mostly work, but some pieces of syntax
+are not rendered correctly on the slave pages:
* [[reStructuredText|rst]]: anonymous hyperlinks and internal
cross-references
* [[wikitext]]: conversion of newlines to paragraphs
* [[creole]]: verbatim text is wrapped, tables are broken
-* [[html]] and LaTeX: not supported yet; the dedicated po4a modules
- could be used to support them, but they would need a security audit

to an array to support this. (If twere done, twere best done quickly.)

Double commits of po files
--------------------------
Same thing happens when a change to an existing page triggers a po file
update. --[[Joey]]
+> * The s/utf-8/UTF-8 part has been fixed.
+> * The ENCODING\n part is due to an inconsistency in po4a, which
+> I've just send a patch for. --[[intrigeri]]
+
+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]]
+
Ugly messages with empty files
------------------------------
If there are empty .mdwn files, the po plugin displays some ugly messages.
+> This is due to a bug in po4a (not checking definedness of a
+> variable). One-liner patch sent. --[[intrigeri]]
