[pmwiki-users] MultiLanguage --- again (setting default language)

[Jiri Hladůvka / OBUTEX]

When looking into my pages file source (using text editor) where (:if 
userlang ...:) is present I can see the line
languages=cs,sk,en
before the text:

What about to generate in a new page or edited page (as a ROS event) 
such a line with the default language regardless
on the presence of the (:if userlang ...:) markup if in local/config.pgp 
languages are defined ?

This would enable language selection and translations of $[phrase] even 
if the (:if userlang ...:) is not present
and the (:selectlang:) is in the SideBar or Site.PageHeader.
Am I right?

Has such a functionality be in the PmWiki core ? Or some lines in 
local/config.pgp do that job?

Regards,
Jiri
