In my notes on the subject, I have the following issues to be
addressed:
- how to switch interface language?
* browser detection is one option (browserlanguagedetection patch)
* an other interesting option would be to choose a language from a
menu/list autobuild through DW, Andreas suggested this could
be done the mediawiki-way using interwiki links
- how to link two pages which are translations of one another?
* simple approach: use dedidated language namespaces (Alexey's
patch and keep the same page names (+ interwiki links)
* better approach: a plugin which knows that page "gens.txt"
in the <fr> namespace is "people.txt" in <en> namespace, as
pagenames could be translated too (we don't want to force
useheading)
* apache-like approach: hack autoplural to have it expand file
name like apache does (start.txt, start.fr.txt, start.de.txt)
but this could become a nightmare
* have only a single page (master source), which contains all
translations (one parsed file, output differs) a la wml:
<fr>texte français</fr><en>english text</en>. Easier to
maintain for authors. Cannot be cached.
* a mixture of dedidated language namespaces + single page
- how to sync translated pages together?
* if a plugin knows which files are associated together (such as
"gens.txt" and people.txt in the above example) it could ease
the update of any page which has a translated sister
* with single page as translations source, that's easy
