`po_master_language` is used to set the "master" language in
`ikiwiki.setup`, such as:
- po_master_language => { 'code' => 'en', 'name' => 'English' }
+ po_master_language => 'en|English'
`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
-----------------------------------
Add 'Options MultiViews' to the wiki directory's configuration in Apache.
-When `usedirs` is enabled, one has to set `DirectoryIndex index` for
-the wiki context.
+When `usedirs` is enabled, you should also set `DirectoryIndex index`.
-Setting `DefaultLanguage LL` (replace `LL` with your default MIME
-language code) for the wiki context can help to ensure
-`bla/page/index.en.html` is served as `Content-Language: LL`.
+These settings are also recommended, in order to avoid serving up rss files
+as index pages:
+
+ AddType application/rss+xml;qs=0.8 .rss
+ AddType application/atom+xml;qs=0.8 .atom
For details, see [Apache's documentation](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/content-negotiation.html).
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)
+TODO: Example
Usage
=====
The `ISTRANSLATION` and `ISTRANSLATABLE` variables can be used to
display things only on translatable or translation pages.
+The `LANG_CODE` and `LANG_NAME` variables can respectively be used to
+display the current page's language code and pretty name.
+
### Display page's versions in other languages
The `OTHERLANGUAGES` loop provides ways to display other languages'
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:
+[[Markdown|mdwn]] and [[html]] are well supported. Some other markup

+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.
-
-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?
-
->>> Other `po_link_to` styles already work ok: say there is
->>> a \[[dest]] link on a page called `dest`. When rendering
->>> `dest.LL`, `mybestlink` returns `dest.LL`, and `htmllink` is then
->>> able to detect, and manage correctly, that it is a self-link.
->>> --[[intrigeri]]
-
->> (Also, if `mybestlink` is going to always just return `bestlink` in
->> this case, there seems no reason to inject it.) --[[Joey]]
-
->>> Right. Commit cdc3576c8d1efb2 in my po branch prevents
->>> `mybestlink` to be injected when `po_link_to` is
->>> `default`. --[[intrigeri]]
-
-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]]
-
->> Right.. well, the cases where links are added is very small.
->> Grepping for `add_link`, it's just done by link, camelcase, meta, and
->> tag. All of these are supposed to work just link regular links
->> so I'd think that is ok. We could probably remove the currently scary
->> comment about only wanting to change the first link. --[[Joey]]
-
->>> Commit 3c2bffe21b91684 in my po branch does this. --[[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]]
-
->> Could do that, but if you have such a function it's natural to want to
->> use it elsewhere. Not clear to me it would make sense for po to override
->> such a function if it were used in some of the other places that compare
->> to index.
->>
->> The other option would be for po to override the template setting.
->> --[[Joey]]
-
->>> Great idea. Commit 6c0f9c691c3df3a in my po branch does it. --[[intrigeri]]

-Pagespecs
----------
-
-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
---------------------------------
-
-If a page is not translated yet, the "translated" version of it
-displays wikilinks to other, existing (but not yet translated?)
-pages as edit links, as if those pages do not exist.
-
-That's really confusing, especially as clicking such a link
-brings up an edit form to create a new, english page.
-
-This is with po_link_to=current or negotiated. With default, it doesn't
-happen..
-
-Also, this may only happen if the page being linked to is coming from an
-underlay, and the underlays lack translation to a given language.

-Double commits of po files
---------------------------
+[[!inline pages="bugs/po:* and !bugs/done and !link(bugs/done) and !bugs/*/*"
+feeds=no actions=no archive=yes show=0]]
-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.
-
-Documentation
--------------
+TODO
+====
-Maybe write separate documentation depending on the people it targets:
-translators, wiki administrators, hackers. This plugin may be complex
-enough to deserve this.
