[Pmwiki-users] intermap and i18n

[Patrick R. Michaud]

Bear in mind that InterMap links (such as
PmWikiIt:RegoleDiImpaginazione) are actually forms of wiki markup and
are handled by the wiki translation engine.  The translation table
mechanisms (using XLSDV) are designed to translate strings directly to
XHTML output, not to wiki markup.  This is so translations can specify
things such as <a href=...> tags, images, etc., in the translated
output.  So, not only isn't there an "extra pass" there the intermap
lookup mechanism, there isn't even a "first pass", because you can go
directly to the XHTML output.
