Re: [VuFind-Tech] Vufind with different templates per language

[Eoghan Ó C. <eog...@gm...>]

Hi,
If there is going to be considerable difference in how the different
languages are displayed, one option would be to have different themes for
each. This functionality isn't in the VuFind trunk, but this JIRA ticket has
some sample code: http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-50. You would need to
add some code to ensure that only the appropriate language file loaded for a
given theme.

You can see Luke O'Sullivan's implementation of theme switching here:
https://ifind.swwhep.ac.uk/
<https://ifind.swwhep.ac.uk/%20>

If you're only going to use two languages & there are only relativley minor
differences in layout etc, you may be able to handle it in the smarty
templates.  e.g. <ul class="{if $userLang ==
'ga'}mainNavGa{else}mainNav{/if}">. I did this in our catalogue (
http://catalogue.nli.ie) as sometimes the display of the Irish version
needed some sytlistic tweaks. This works well for switching a few css class
names, or for using different sub-templates as includes for static pages (eg
{if $userLang == 'ga'}{include file="About/about_text_ga.tpl"}{else}[default
text]{/if}, see http://catalogue.nli.ie/About/Home), but it would be messy
to maintain for anything more than that.

Hope this helps,
Eoghan
