+Linguas
+=======
+
+Linguas is a plugin for [ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.kitenet.net/) that
+allows translations of wiki pages.
+
+Download: [linguas.pm](http://wiki.ettin.org/files/linguas.pm) (2006-08-21).
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Translatable pages and translations must have the following format:
+`pagename.$LANG`, where `$LANG` is a ISO639-1 (two-letter) language code.
+To enable linguas, add the following line in the source code of the page:
+
+    [[linguas ]]
+
+Note that linguas is only required in one of the pages (the original,
+for instance); the rest of translations will be automatically
+updated. Additionally, it is also possible to specify the title of
+the translation:
+
+    [[linguas title="Translated title"]]
+
+
+Template
+--------
+
+This is the template code that should be added to `templates/page.tmpl`:
+
+       <TMPL_IF NAME="LINGUAS">
+       <div id="linguas">
+       <p class="otherlinguas"><TMPL_VAR NAME="OTHERLINGUAS"></p>
+       <ul>
+       <TMPL_LOOP NAME="LINGUAS">
+       <li><TMPL_VAR NAME=LINK></li>
+       </TMPL_LOOP>
+       </ul>
+       </div>
+       </TMPL_IF>
+
+
+TODO/Known Problems
+-------------------
+
+* The current language list only contains 4 languages (ca, de, en,
+es), and is "hardcoded" in linguas.pm. Would be interesting to define
+it in ikiwiki.setup, though some problems were found while trying to do
+so. (Actually, defining hash-like arguments from the command like works
+fine, but it fails from ikiwiki.setup.)
+
+* Wiki links to other translated pages require the full page name
+including the `.$LANG`. It should be possible to link automatically
+to pages with the same `.$LANG`, but that would probably require some
+changes in IkiWiki. (I'm not sure though, I still haven't looked at
+it... any hints?)
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+* [Linguas](http://wiki.ettin.org/linguas.en.html). A page with the same
+content than this one.
+
+* [Hello in some languages](http://wiki.ettin.org/hello/hello.en.html). The
+translations were taken from [Hello in many
+languages](http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/hello.htm) and from
+the [Debian](http://www.debian.org/) website.
