[Phpwebsite-developers] Opinions please

[Bob T. <bo...@el...>]

Some of you have tried the screen that I wrote that diverts a person 
to an install script if they try to run phpWebsite without running 
setup.

The diagnostics on this screen are all in English.   I think all the 
other install instructions in README and docs/ files are also in 
english.

I am ready to pretty up this screen prior to the 8.2 release.   I 
would also like to change the documentation that tells people:
"  5. phpWebSite has a completely web-based install - point your
   browser to:
   http://your_phpWebSite_powered_site.com/setup/
   and follow the onscreen instructions.

I want to change it so it tells them to go to:
  http://your_phpWebSite_powered_site.com

I want to continue to work on the diagnostics and explanations on 
this screen, but if I put everything in TRANSLATE[[]] statements, it 
will make updates, clarifications and additions quite difficult.  I 
think the difficulty of doing this would lead to the screen 
containing lots less helpful information than it would otherwise.

I would like to just leave this screen in English, at least until 
such time until all the other README and documentation files are put 
into multiple languages.    While websites have many users who do not 
speak English, it is hard to see how someone who cannot read English 
would be able to install and maintain a phpWebsite, since all the 
instructions and support forums are in English.   For this reason I 
think it would be OK to present the diagnostic screen in English 
only.   It is only seen by the admin.

=============================================
Question One:
  Can I leave this screen in English only?

Question Two:
  Can I change the documentation to point users to this screen for 
install?
