If I understand correctly (my reach not infrequently exceeds my grasp in some of these things), the multilanguage.php file lets the user's system preferences determine the language of interface (per <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MultiLanguage">
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MultiLanguage</a> ). This is apparently site-wide ... or can it be only in the wikigroups so defined by adding <br><code class="escaped">include_once('cookbook/multilanguage.php');
</code><br>in the relevant group local/*.php files?<br><br>If one adds the abovementioned line in the config.php file, that would surely activate multilanguage in all groups. What happens if there are XLpage language preferences already defined for specific wikigroups? Which prevails?
<br><br>Then I'm not clear on the implications of activating the UTF-8 feature. In principle, it would be ideal if PmWiki used UTF-8 by default already. My only concern is that there was some mention of complications in switching to UTF-8 (in the context of discussions re RSS feeds) and I'm a little concerned about unintended effects of various receipes on skins and functions.
<br><br>Basically what I'm looking for is:<br>1) the main wikigroups and selected other wikigroups being "multilingual" in<br> a) English, French, Portuguese, Spanish<br> b) maybe other languages<br>2) some wikigroups being language-specific because of their narrower audience (these would be one or another of the languages in 1a).
<br>3) Rephrasing the question from above, how best to achieve 1+2? Multilingual for the whole site with exceptions for specific wikigroups, or multilingual for selected wikigroups?<br><br>TIA for any feedback<br><br>Don<br>
