Hi David and all. Thank you for your help.
Ok, 1/ let's resume what I've understood, and which seems to be relevant for a "how to for beginner": ________________________________________________________ Howto to create a page which is the translation of an other page: ******************************************************** To translate a page, the normal way is: create a new page getting the exact name of the page to translate adding to the name a "/" and the language code name of the language we want to translate the page in. Exemple: If the name of the page to be translated is: MyPageInOriginalLanguage And if the language in which I want to translate the page is: french Then, the language code of french is: fr And then I create a new page (if not exist yet) in which I will translate the content of MyPageInOriginalLanguage. I name this new page: MyPageInOriginalLanguage/fr Is that correct ? 2/ using what already exists on wikimedia foundations wiki sites: quote:[david] "You can copy & paste in your wiki templates from MediaWiki.org or Meta to use as links between pages in diferent languages." Yep ! But which one ? For exemple, I've already tried to copy Template:Language from meta, books or mediawiki, but it did not works. Something missed. Then, if we had to say to somebody the minimum list of templates that should be replicated, what would be this minimum of list ? ________________________________ De : david <[email protected]> À : HiddenId <[email protected]>; MediaWiki announcements and site admin list <[email protected]> Envoyé le : Mercredi 29 février 2012 20h43 Objet : Re: [Mediawiki-l] je suis perdu: comment configurer mediawiki sous deux langues: [fr] et [en] ??? Hi, you can have a different wiki installation for each language or use only one wiki for all together. I supose that you prefer the second option. A multilingual wiki is a normal installation of MediaWiki with a basic language (i.e: English) and pages in other languages (i.e:French). As you say slash plus language code is used to indicate the version in other language of one specific page. The name of the page must be the same in the basic language. You can copy & paste in your wiki templates from MediaWiki.org or Meta to use as links between pages in diferent languages. There are some things that you can automatize installing some extra extensions. I recommend you to install Polyglot and Language selector (as I said in a previous message in this list): * Polyglot: it will redirect the user to the page in his language, if exist, depending on his browser language (you must to identify the page language using subpagenames /de /fr /es ...). There must to be a 'base language' without subpagename. Attention: take the last SVN version of Polyglot because the version in the snapshot don't works with Mw 1.18. * LanguageSelector: the user can choose his navigation language, it changes the interface language, and, combined with Polyglot, redirects him to the page in the choosen language if exists, ignoring the browser language Links: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Polyglot http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LanguageSelector Using ParserFunctions you can also use conditionals to detect when a page is translated or not. I used some of this strategies in this bilingual (catalan/spanish) wiki: http://enlloc.net/hkp/w/ El dc 29 de 02 de 2012 a les 18:41 +0000, en/na HiddenId va escriure: > Bonjour, > > Je suis en train d'installer un site utilisant mediawiki. > Je voudrais qu'il fonctionne pour des utilisateurs français et anglais, > principalement. > > Je voudrais que pour chaque article paru, il soit possible de traduire > l'article dans l'autre langue, et d'indiquer sur la page de l'article, un > lien vers sa traduction. > > J'ai bien compris que le fait de créer une page en ajoutant un "slash" et le > code de la langue, permet de réaliser la traduction de l'article. > Exemple: Si la langue par défaut est l'anglais, alors Page1/fr permet de > créer la traduction en français de Page1 écrite en anglais. > > J'ai bien compris qu'en plaçant manuellement un lien vers la page traduite, > cela permet de cliquer sur ce lien et d'arriver sur la traduction de la page. > > Mais comment faire pour l'automatiser ?
