`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
-----------------------------------
--------
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)
discussion page.
Likewise, "slave" pages are not supposed to have sub-pages;
-[[WikiLinks|wikilink]] that appear on a "slave" page therefore link to
+[[WikiLinks|ikiwiki/wikilink]] that appear on a "slave" page therefore link to
the master page's sub-pages.

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:

- could be used to support them, but they would need a security audit

+BUGS
====
-Better links
-------------
-
-Once the fix to
-[[bugs/pagetitle_function_does_not_respect_meta_titles]] from
-[[intrigeri]]'s `meta` branch is merged into ikiwiki upstream, the
-generated links' text will be optionally based on the page titles set
-with the [[meta|plugins/meta]] plugin, and will thus be translatable.
-It will also allow displaying the translation status in links to slave
-pages. Both were implemented, and reverted in commit
-ea753782b222bf4ba2fb4683b6363afdd9055b64, which should be reverted
-once [[intrigeri]]'s `meta` branch is merged.
-
-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
----------
+TODO
+====
-I was suprised that, when using the map directive, a pagespec of "*"
-listed all the translated pages as well as regular pages. That can
-make a big difference to an existing wiki when po is turned on,
-and seems generally not wanted.
-(OTOH, you do want to match translated pages by
-default when locking pages.) --[[Joey]]

-Edit links on untranslated pages
---------------------------------
+broken links to translatable basewiki pages that lack po files
+--------------------------------------------------------------
If a page is not translated yet, the "translated" version of it
displays wikilinks to other, existing (but not yet translated?)
underlay, and the underlays lack translation to a given language.
--[[Joey]]
-Double commits of po files
---------------------------
-
-When adding a new english page, the po files are created, committed,
-and then committed again. The second commit makes this change:
-
- -"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n"
- -"Content-Transfer-Encoding: ENCODING"
- +"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
- +"Content-Transfer-Encoding: ENCODING\n"
-
-Same thing happens when a change to an existing page triggers a po file
-update. --[[Joey]]
-
-Ugly messages with empty files
-------------------------------
-
-If there are empty .mdwn files, the po plugin displays some ugly messages.
-
-Translation of directives
--------------------------
-
-If a translated page contains a directive, it may expand to some english
-text, or text in whatever single language ikiwiki is configured to "speak".
-
-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.)
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-Maybe write separate documentation depending on the people it targets:
-translators, wiki administrators, hackers. This plugin may be complex
-enough to deserve this.
