`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
-----------------------------------
--------
Recent versions of lighttpd should be able to use
-`$HTTP["language"]` to configure the translatted pages to be served.
+`$HTTP["language"]` to configure the translated pages to be served.
See [Lighttpd Issue](http://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/show/1119)
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
---------
underlay, and the underlays lack translation to a given language.
--[[Joey]]

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]]
+
+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]]

Translation of directives
