`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)

Usage

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:

Security
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.)

Pagespecs
---------
(OTOH, you do want to match translated pages by
default when locking pages.) --[[Joey]]
-Edit links on untranslated pages
---------------------------------
+> Seems hard to me to sort apart the pagespec whose matching pages
+> list must be restricted to pages in the master (or current?)
+> language, and the ones that should not. The only solution I can see
+> to this surprising behaviour is: documentation. --[[intrigeri]]
+
+Edit links on some slave pages
+------------------------------
If a page is not translated yet, the "translated" version of it
displays wikilinks to other, existing (but not yet translated?)
underlay, and the underlays lack translation to a given language.
--[[Joey]]
+> Any simple testcase to reproduce it, please? I've never seen this
+> happen yet. --[[intrigeri]]
+
+>> Sure, go here <http://l10n.ikiwiki.info/smiley/smileys/index.sv.html>
+>> (Currently 0% translateed) and see the 'WikiLink' link at the bottom,
+>> which goes to <http://l10n.ikiwiki.info/ikiwiki.cgi?page=ikiwiki/wikilink&from=smiley/smileys&do=create>
+>> Compare with eg, the 100% translated Dansk version, where

+

+>>> translated Spanish version has the correct link, just like the
+>>> Dansk version => I'm changing the bug title accordingly.

+
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]]
+
+> I could reproduce this bug at some point during the merge of a buggy
+> version of my ordered slave languages patch, but I cannot anymore.
+> Could you please try again? --[[intrigeri]]
+
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]]
+
+Remove po/pot files when disabling the po plugin?
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+ikiwiki now has a `disable` hook. Should the po plugin remove the po
+files from the source repository when it has been disabled?
+
Translation of directives
-------------------------
Maybe there could be a way to switch ikiwiki to speaking another language
when building a non-english page? Then the directives would get translated.
-Created page type
------------------
-
-The interdiction to create pages of type po was broken by the new
-`page_types` code. This is fixed in my po branch by
-commit 1914ae2fd24e1e802.
-
-While I was there, I also added some code to set a new default value
-to the type select field in case it was previously set to "po".
-This code favors the type of the linking page's masterpage on page
-creation (when `from=page.LL`). This is commit c9301d2c296f682.
---[[intrigeri]]
-
-> Both cherry picked. --[[Joey]]
-
-inline's post form's rootpage
------------------------------
-
-When a translatable page (say it is called "bugs") contains an
-[[inline directive|ikiwiki/directive/inline]] with `postform` enabled,
-the rootpage is l10n'd on translations pages (e.g. "bugs.fr" gets
-a `rootpage` value of `bugs.fr`). This is usually not what's expected,
-as translation pages are not supposed to have subpages. My po branch
-has code (e671e72053e81fa, which depends on 72ac9821e56637) that fixes
-this. --[[intrigeri]]
+(We also will need this in order to use translated templates, when they are
+available.)
