[pmwiki-users] Best way to set wiki interface language for different users?

[Rogutės Sparnuotos]

Hi,

I guess it depends on the authentication mechanism you are using... Is it
AuthUser? If it is, you could skim through PmWiki/AuthUser documentation
and notice this example:

    include_once("$FarmD/scripts/authuser.php");
    $Author = $AuthId; # after include_once()

Then visit
  http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/BasicVariables#AuthId
to see that $AuthId is indeed what you want.

if ($AuthId == 'harald') {
  XLPage('de','PmWikiDe.XLPage');
}

Hope it works!
