Re: [Mediawiki-l] Multiple languages

Ok, Perhaps I need to provide a bit more information on where I am up to. Using Mediawiki 1.5.3. I have setup 1 mysql database with no extensions being used. I am at this time trying to determine how best to set up a multi-language wiki. I have been able to go into the interwiki database and add the language codes for the additional languages. Eg. nl http://nl.wiki.phpgedview.net/index.php?title=$1 1 Not quite sure what the 0 or 1 means in the iw_local field. I have figured out that I need to include $wgInterwikiMagic = true; into my LocalSettings.php if I want the language codes to come up as XX.website.com/index... I have also seen that you can put the language code either before or after the $1 variable in the interwiki database to change where the language code comes up. What I imagined would happen is that when you selected a different language that you would be able to edit the sidebar for each one somehow like I do for the default language (MediaWiki:Sidebar). I have also read somewhere that you need multiple databases for running multiple languages. This site is basically designed to be one document replicated into a number of languages. Sorry but I am VERY new to all this and can not find an easy step through anywhere let alone a hard one. I could also not find the work sidebar at all in Languagesxx.php file.

When a user selects a language other than the default, you should find the interface loads from that language file, and the sidebar should hopefully update.
