Then it looks like the “DokuWiki.org” Homepage and you need not redo this after a dokuwiki update. </p> </div> <h2 class="sectionedit5" id="configuration">Configuration</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> First, there are two ways how to set up a multilingual wiki: </p> <ol> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> a default language in the root namespace and translations in sub namespaces</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> no pages in the top namespace and all languages in sub namespaces</div> </li> </ol> <p> Here at dokuwiki.org the first method is used. Certain features <abbr title="On the other hand">OTOH</abbr> will only work with the second method. </p> <p> There are several config options, all accessible through the config manager. </p> <p> The most important thing to configure is a list of languages you want to use in the <code>translations</code> setting. It is good practice to use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes" class="interwiki iw_wp" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes">ISO language codes</a> for this. Your translation namespaces will be named like the options you set here. Separate each language with a comma or space. Depending on the type of setup you want to add your default language (the one configured in <a href="/config:lang" class="wikilink1" title="config:lang" data-wiki-id="config:lang">lang</a>) here or omit it. </p> <ol> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> for the default language in the top namespace, omit it from the config</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> for namespaces for all languages add it here as well</div> </li> </ol> <p> By default a list of translation links is shown. This can take quite a bit space when you have many translations. Enabling the <code>dropdown</code> option should help here. </p> <p> If you want to restrict translations to one certain namespace you can define it in the <code>translationns</code> option. This is optional, leaving it empty will enable the plugin for the whole wiki. </p> <p> Similar to the above setting you can also disable translations for certain pages or namespaces using the <code>skiptrans</code> setting. It expects a regular expression to be matched against pagenames. When it matches, the translation switcher will not be displayed. The regexp is applied to the full pagename which starts with colon. </p> <p> If you want to switch on the translation flag only for specific namespaces, you can do this by defining a regular expression that inverts the result, for example<br/> <code>^((?!:redaktionssystem:techn_doku|:technik:verkaufsunterlagen|:en).)*$</code>.<br/> Then only in the namespaces “redaktionssystem:techn_doku”, “technik:verkaufsunterlagen” and “en” the translation plugin is active. </p> <p> You can optionally choose to let the plugin translate the whole user interface of DokuWiki too when a non-default language page is selected. Just enable the <code>translateui</code> option accordingly. </p> <p> If you decided to go with a type 2 setup, then your root namespace is pretty useless. Enabling the <code>redirectstart</code> setting will redirect users to the start of a translation namespace based on their browser language. This option only works when the above <code>translateui</code> setting is enabled, too. </p> <p> When you have a default language that gets translated to other languages, it might be helpful to warn visitors on outdated translations. Enabling the <code>checkage</code> option will do that by comparing the age of the translation page with the one of the original (default language) page. It also tries to find the last revision of the original page that was edited before the translation and links to a <a href="/plugin:diff" class="wikilink1" title="plugin:diff" data-wiki-id="plugin:diff">diff view</a>. </p> <p> Finally you might want to explain how the translations work on your wiki to your users. To make this description easily accessible from the language selector, enter the <a href="/pagename" class="wikilink1" title="pagename" data-wiki-id="pagename">pagename</a> of your description in the <code>about</code> configuration setting. IF you enable the <code>localabout</code> setting, this description page can be translated as any other page and the link will always go to the currently active translation. </p> <p> Additionally a few options can be selected to influence how the translation selector should look like. This is done through the <code>display</code> option where you can choose from the following settings: </p> <div class="table sectionedit6"><table class="inline"> <thead> <tr class="row0"> <th class="col0 leftalign"> Setting </th><th class="col1"> Description </th> </tr> </thead> <tr class="row1"> <td class="col0"> <code>langcode</code> </td><td class="col1"> The ISO language code (eg.

id="on_using_country_flags">On using country flags</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> Usability experts agree that using country flags to represent a language is a really bad idea and should be avoided at all costs. This is because languages do not correspond to single countries. </p> <p> Simple example: what flag should represent English? The flag of England (red cross on white), the Union Flag (aka “Union Jack”) for the UK or the flag of the United states (Stars and stripes)? Or what language would you expect when you see the Swiss flag? French? German? Rheto-Romanic? </p> <p> I added support for flags because of the high demand for it but I strongly advise against using it. If you do, remember that your choice of flags will most probably annoy one group of your users, regardless what you chose. </p> <p> New flags can be placed in SVG format in the <code>flags</code> directory of the plugin and need to be named after the language ISO code. </p> </div> <h2 class="sectionedit9" id="namespace_template_variables">Namespace template variables</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> The translation plugin adds variables usable in <a href="/namespace_templates" class="wikilink1" title="namespace_templates" data-wiki-id="namespace_templates">Namespace Templates</a>. </p> <div class="table sectionedit10"><table class="inline"> <thead> <tr class="row0"> <th class="col0"> Variable </th><th class="col1"> Description </th><th class="col2"> Example </th> </tr> </thead> <tr class="row1"> <td class="col0"> @LANG@ </td><td class="col1"> Language you have entered in your <a href="/config:lang" class="wikilink1" title="config:lang" data-wiki-id="config:lang">lang config</a> </td><td class="col2"> en </td> </tr> <tr class="row2"> <td class="col0"> @TRANS@ </td><td class="col1"> The currently used language.
