Using txp:text in a theme - questions
OK, I need a bit of clarification here. What language string groups from the database txp_lang table should I be using along with <txp:text> in a theme to safely allow for multi language support?
I’m guessing only ‘public’ and ‘common’, or maybe also ‘tag’?
I’m also conscious that using strings from the above groups, although a line of text appears to be appropriate to what I want in English, maybe in another language that text is a completely different context. An example being “Comment” – in English that could be an actual comment itself or an invite to make a comment, in other languages I’m not sure the same would apply. Hope I’m explaining myself OK.
Cheers!

OK, thanks Stef. And if I want to propose a small handful of additions to the txp_lang table for a future release of Textpattern, that would be in the ‘public’ group?

If it’s only for the public side, then yes. If there’s a chance the strings will be useful to the admin side as well then they’ll go in common.

Re: Using txp:text in a theme - questions
Let’s take this a step further. Is there any suggested way to deal with localized strings in a template that is simple enough to be distributed with a template (so that it does not change core tables and also is simple enough for non-tech users to import)?

Ok, so I think I finally understand the concept. Now all I need to do is wrap together a plugin that does the textpack installation for the user to ease the process :)
Thanks!

That’d be cool. The only people that can install Textpacks are those who have Admin->Prefs->Languages rights or those who can install plugins.
If you’re going down this route, please check rsilletti’s plugin first so you’re not covering the same ground.
