`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
-----------------------------------
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]]

+l10n wiki misconfiguration
+--------------------------
If a page is not translated yet, the "translated" version of it
displays wikilinks to other, existing (but not yet translated?)
>> Compare with eg, the 100% translated Dansk version, where
>> the WikiLink link links to the English WikiLink page. --[[Joey]]
+>>> Seems not related to the page/string translation status: the 0%
+>>> translated Spanish version has the correct link, just like the
+>>> Dansk version => I'm changing the bug title accordingly.
+>>>
+>>> I tested forcing the sv html page to be rebuilt by translating a
+>>> string in it, it did not fix the bug. I did the same for the
+>>> Spanish page, it did not introduce the bug. So this is really
+>>> weird.
+>>>
+>>> The smiley underlay seems to be the only place where the wrong
+>>> thing happens: the basewiki underlay has similar examples
+>>> that do not exhibit this bug. An underlay linking to another might
+>>> be necessary to reproduce it. Going to dig deeper. --[[intrigeri]]
+
+>>>> After a few hours lost in the Perl debugger, I think I have found
+>>>> the root cause of the problem: in l10n wiki's configured
+>>>> `underlaydir`, the basewiki is present in every slave language
+>>>> that is enabled for this wiki *but* Swedish. With such a
+>>>> configuration, the `ikiwiki/wikilink` page indeed does not exist
+>>>> in Swedish language: no `ikiwiki/wikilink.sv.po` can be found
+>>>> where ikiwiki is looking. Have a look to
+>>>> <http://l10n.ikiwiki.info/ikiwiki/>, the basewiki is not
+>>>> available in Swedish language on this wiki. So this is not a po
+>>>> bug, but a configuration or directories layout issue. This is
+>>>> solved by adding the Swedish basewiki to the underlay dir, which
+>>>> is I guess not a possibility in the l10n wiki context. I guess

+>>>> `add_underlays` configuration directive. --[[intrigeri]]

Double commits of po files
--------------------------
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
------------------------------
> 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
