Re: [Slashcode-general] Solidot.org launches Chinese Slashdot Website on latest i18n Slashcode

Another possible alternative way to do it -

declare the language in your data template.

ie

cp themes/slashcode/templates/data\;misc\;defaults themes/=20
slashcode_CN/templates/.
edit the themes/slashcode_CN/templates/.data\;misc\;default
change language to zh_CN

then add a case statement

[% CASE 'button_createnew' %]
Create a new

[% CASE 'button_preview' %]
	Preview

[% CASE 'button_edit' %]
	Edit

[% CASE 'button_save' %]
	Save

[% CASE 'button_submit' %]
	Submit

then in your templates something like such

<input type=3D"submit" name=3D"save" value=3D"[% button_save %]">

If you did it like this, you'd just have to create the data templates =20=

for each language. if you combined it w/ the JS then it could work =20
site-wide I'd think.
