Is this possible with Mediawiki and some extensions:
For example, consider a user who prefers french content...types in this:
www.host.com/page/Integration
-ideally the URL path for a given page stays the same (as displayed in the browser) - to
avoid a redirect
-system checks users preferred language (say by ACCEPT_LANGUAGE header) - in this case its
'fr'
-wiki looks up french version of the given page, if it exists it displays that content
-if the french doesnt exist, it displays the english content
-user would type the page name appended with /fr to force-edit the french version (to
create it)
-skin would still use users language for localized content for the layout (non-media wiki
parts like header, footer, side navigation menu etc.)
Similar BUT NOT THE SAME as the Extension:Multilang, Extension:LanguageSelector,
Extension:Polyglot, Extension:AutoLanguage extensions I see out there.
Is this possible to "fight" the wiki in bringing up a default page when one does
not exist (instead of the mediawiki built-in behavior to bring up the page allowing the
user to create it).
Any ideas welcome!
