1. How can i do this^^?

Not sure if there is a way, but for this case, it would be good to have some attribute like link_empty (or similar)

2. How do i rename English (US) to English ?

In the file l10n_langs.php.

Try the article_list tag for l10n_lang_list. It should force it to output links, even to non-existent articles. You can then customise your 404 page to show the message. It’s not a perfect solution but should allow you to make some progress with your problem.

Thanks Steve! Adding to attr article_list any variable makes MLP to build link even if article doesn’t have english rendition. now i’m thinking – how to output message “no translation” with the best wasy. And during of of thinkiing developed the way to check…

check if article has renditions of laguages

<txp:variable name="has_lang" value='<txp:l10n_lang_list />' /> 
<txp:smd_if field="txpvar:has_lang" operator="contains" value="english">
has english!
<txp:else />
no english!
</txp:smd_if>

If you need to check if article has more than one translation, the code could look like this:

<txp:variable name="has_lang" value='<txp:l10n_lang_list />' /> 
<txp:smd_if field="txpvar:has_lang,txpvar:has_lang" operator="contains,contains" value="english,deutsh" logic="or">
has english or german!
<txp:else />
there is no english or german!
</txp:smd_if>

And so on…
P.S. Remember – the logic attr in smd_if by default is AND

Since I failed to finish the job on time, Im off it. No longer necessary to help. Thanks anyway.

Two questions:

1) What would be the best way to provide all existing snippets for translating them to new langs, outside TXP? Pages, forms and so on.
2) When adding new languages to a live site having users browsing all the time, what things should be thought about? Any pitfalls to avoid…

Hi. Im having some problem with MLP. It seems it always sets English as the default language for my site. I see that in the MLP tab default language is the one i want, but when im viewing my site, it chooses English for some reason. Any ideas what im doing wrong?? (when i installed MLP i was using language which i wanted to be my default, not English)

ultramega · 2008-11-26 09:16:33

slim_u, what is selected as a primary language in your browsers preferences? If not remembering wrong, MLP automatically provides the language user browser is asking for.

In MLP settings there is option, by it MLP can try to recognize visitors browsers language by looking through headers. You can find and disable this option. But i don’t remeber its name :)

ultramega and Victor are probably right — is your browser set up to request English from whatever site it visits?

If so, you can either change your browser’s preferred language setting to the language you want or look for the Use browser "accept-language" headers? option on the content > MLP > preferences tab and set it to “no” then save your preferences.

In 4.0.7 the drop down language menu at the top of the admin side pages disappeared. (It was still there in r2992.) Otherwise MLP seems to work fine in 4.0.7 :)

Els

thank you. Good to see 4.0.7 finish the race and 4.0.8 out of the starting blocks at last. Now that 4.0.7 is static I’ll look at updating the MLP Pack for it.

Hello all,

I would like to update to Txp 4.0.7, I make use of the MLP plugin and i have two question. When i look at the database i see that all data stored in the database use utf8_general_ci. Only the tables created by MLP have the value latin1_swedish_ci.

Can somebody tell me if this can create problems when upgrading to 4.0.7? Second questions, is there a way to change these tables to utf8_general_ci?

Sorry when this is not the right forum group to post this question.

I don’t know much about databases so i hope somebody can answer my questions.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Maarten.
