`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
-----------------------------------
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:
+[[Markdown|mdwn]] and [[html]] are well supported. Some other markup
+languages supported by ikiwiki mostly work, but some pieces of syntax

* [[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

Security
An integration branch, called `meta-po`, merges [[intrigeri]]'s `po`
and `meta` branches, and thus has this additional features.
-Self links
-----------
-
-If a page contains a WikiLink to itself, ikiwiki does not normally
-turn that into a hyperlink. However, if a translated page contains a
-WikiLink to itself, a hyperlink is inserted, at least with the default
-`po_link_to` the link points to the English version of the page. Is there a
-good reason for that to be done? --[[Joey]]
-
-> The commit 0113c69d4fb in my po branch might fix this. --[[intrigeri]]
-
->> It may fix it in passing, but shouldn't it also be fixed for the other
->> `po_link_to` styles? (Also, if `mybestlink` is going to always
->> just return `bestlink` in this case, there seems no reason to inject
->> it.) --[[Joey]]
-
-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.)
---[[Joey]]
-
-Duplicate %links ?
-------------------
-
-I notice code in the scan hook that seems to assume
-that %links will accumulate duplicate links for a page.
-That used to be so, but the bug was fixed. Does this mean
-that po might be replacing the only link on a page, in error?
---[[Joey]]
-
-> It would replace it. The only problematic case is when another
-> plugin has its own reasons, in its `scan` hook, to add a page
-> that is already there to `$links{$page}`. This other plugin's
-> effect might then be changed by po's `scan` hook... which could
-> be either good (better overall l10n) or bad (break the other
-> plugin's goal). --[[intrigeri]]
-
-Name of toplevel index page
----------------------------
-
-Normally at the top index page of a wiki, you see the wiki name at
-the top. However, at the top *translated* index page, you see something
-like "index.da". --[[Joey]]
-
-> I suggest changing `Render.pm`, line 115, to replace the `$page eq 'index'`
-> test with a predicate call such as isindexpage($page). Such a predicate
-> function could then be overriden by the po plugin. --[[intrigeri]]
-
Pagespecs
---------
underlay, and the underlays lack translation to a given language.
--[[Joey]]
-recentchanges links to po files
--------------------------------
-
-When a po file is changed, the recentchanges page shows a link such as
-"sandbox.es". But, clicking on it goes to the English (or negotiated
-language) version of the page. It would be better in this one case if
-the link went direct to the translated version of the page. --[[Joey]]
-
-> The (untested) commit 496e8523c670 in my po branch might fix this...
-> or at least, I believe, put someone on the right track.
-> --[[intrigeri]]
+> Any simple testcase to reproduce it, please? I've never seen this
+> happen yet. --[[intrigeri]]
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 is fixed in my po branch.
+> * The ENCODING\n part is due to an inconsistency in po4a, which
+> I've just send a patch for. --[[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]]
+
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.
+(We also will need this in order to use translated templates, when they are
+available.)
