-> Looks like, tmpl_process3 cannot preserve line breaks in template files.

 This could be easily worked around in tmpl_process3, but I wouldn't like to
 maintain a separate utility.

-Danish l10n of templates and basewiki is available with the following commands:
-
-    git clone http://source.jones.dk/ikiwiki.git newsite
-    cd newsite
-    make
-
-Updates are retrieved with this single command:
+Another way to approach this would be to write a small program that outputs
+the current set of templates. Now i18n of that program is trivial,
+and it can be run once per language to generate localized templates.
 
-    make
+Then it's just a matter of installing the templates somewhere, and having
+them be used when a different language is enabled.
 
-l10n is maintained using po4a for basewiki, smiley and templates - please  send me PO files if you
-translate to other languagess than the few I know about myself: <dr@jones.dk>

-As upstream ikiwiki is now maintained in GIT too, keeping the master mirror in sync with upstream
-could probably be automated even more - but an obstacle seems to be that content is not maintained
-separately but as an integral part of upstream source (GIT seems to not support subscribing to
-only parts of a repository).
-
-For example use, here's how to roll out a clone of the [Redpill support site](http://support.redpill.dk/):
-
-    mkdir -p ~/public_cgi/support.redpill.dk
-    git clone git://source.jones.dk/bin
-    bin/localikiwikicreatesite -o git://source.redpill.dk/support rpdemo

-(Redpill support is inspired by <http://help.riseup.net> but needs to be reusable for several similarly configured networks)

-> I don't understand at all why you're using git the way you are.

-> I think that this needs to be reworked into a patch against the regular
-> ikiwiki tree, that adds the po4a stuff needed to generate the pot files for the
-> basewiki and template content, as well as the stuff that generates the
-> translated versions of those from the po files.
->
-> The now merged po plugin also handles some of this.

+It would make sense to make the existing `locale` setting control which
+templates are used. But the [[plugins/po]] plugin would probably want to do
+something more, and use the actual language the page is written in.
