`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
--------------------------------
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 s/utf-8/UTF-8 part has been fixed.
> * The ENCODING\n part is due to an inconsistency in po4a, which

+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]]
