Re: Status update

Hi,

Mozilla allows you to set multiple languages I think... will have to check what headers it sends then...

news and events can be translated in the new admin area (http://wwwdevel2.postgresql.org/admin/ - don't miss the
trailingslash!), you can add yourself to the .htaccess in that directory to have a look at it. It's password protected
asit acts on the live database - please be careful on it ;) I will add the possibility to translate the polls, too -
thisis implemented in the website, but missint in the admin area. 

It's currently implemented in a way that every news and event is added in english and then translated by us in the
adminarea. Those entries not yet translated automatically fall back to the english ones... 

There are some new database tables for it, called events_text, news_text and survey_questions.

Documentation can be translated by simply adding the new entries to the documentation table in the database using the
correctlanguage code.
