Multilingual features of XOOPS - White Paper

Multilingual features of XOOPS - White Paper

Michael beck (mamba) wrote to me a number of days ago to ask me to write a basic white paper on making use of multilingual features of XOOPS better in modules, as alot of my modules including the Content Module X-Centre as well as the Forum - X-Forum make use of the multilingual centres in XOOPS and will strap with X-Language to allow content based on the language provided.

If you write modules I would encourage you to read this whitepaper it only goes for 7 pages and start to implement something similar in your modules to take advantage of multilingual centres in XOOPS so more modules support the API X-Language and/or other APIs and language centres in XOOPS.

Fore note:

This document will show you how to make your module multilingual and interact with X-Language or similar API for XOOPS to enable content and function of content to be multilingual within the module. The idea for example is to have One URL for many different languages with the same IDs etc so that XOOPS multilingual features can be used in conjunction with your module. In this module I will use X-Forum 5.78 & X-Centre 2.16 as example so you can download the source code and use it as a basis to make your module multilingual as well.

Simon, thank you so much for doing it. This is excellent!

As I've mentioned to you, I was testing xCenter and liked the "multi-lingual" solution that you've provided there.

And I would like to see a "standard" multi-lingual solution for XOOPS modules that could be included in every module, if the developer would like to.

So your paper will help people understand the mechanism that you've included.

Now, the questions to all the other module developers are:

- is it an easy enough solution for you to include it in your module?
- If not, what would it make it easy for you to use it?
- How could we make it easier and simpler for you?

BTW Simon - the first download link (from your Website) doesn't work, the second (from SourceForge) works fine.

Timgno, the second link from SourceForge (the mirror link posted by Simon) worked for me without any problems.

Thanks, this is the kind of stuff that is real nice to learn.

Maybe we can get Simon to do some other programming tutorials for us?

It should be like this?

When you change the language, change the content of the message in the language choice
