Re: smd_babel: Manage string translations from the admin side

@Jakob:

However, I can imagine a lang attribute would be useful to show another language, for example for a language switcher where you explicitly say lang=“fr” or when using a variable that holds the current language of a multi-language site […]

That’s exactly what I’m doing on my website with the help of my tiny plugins: pat_text and pat_lang_detect.

Re: smd_babel: Manage string translations from the admin side

Slightly OT but I think a language switcher might be better solved with a language container tag:

<txp:langs wraptag="ul" break="li">
   <a href="<txp:site_url/>/<txp:lang />"><txp:text item="lang_name" /></a>
</txp:langs>

We might decide to add a lang attribute to the container that would permit a selection of languages to be offered, e.g. lang="en,fr,de".

v1.0.4 is released that fixes a minor issue with the word false appearing by mistake in the Admin language column.
