The use of translated page names is optional. If you wish to mirror the names
from the English version, you may do so. If a translator wishes to put forth
the effort to translate page names, they are welcome to do so. It isn't hard
to rename a page, but updating the links can take some effort.
I think that translating topic names is A Good Thing, because the page
title is going to be translated too. This is better for users to see the
page's subject on the title, bookmark it, etc.
What is the utility of the "LanguageDict" page right now? I thought that
wiki could translate the links automactically, but I don't know how.
What's the solution for this? Using the "GetVal" command (as in the
FedoraMain page), changing all the links within the wiki translated
pages, or using the english name? (or something else?)
The wiki is only capable of automatically translating the names of built-in
pages. Pages that are added with unique names cannot be automatically
translated. This must be done manually or not at all.
The GetVal macro is only used for pulling in definitions, not translations.
So what's the utility of doing the proccess in LanguageDict?
For example:
FedoraMain::pt_BR/FedoraPrincipal
Overview::pt_BR/VisaoGeral
And another idea: Is it difficult for MoinMoin to translate the links
automatically based on some WikiPage like LanguageDict and the lang var
in each wiki-page?
So GetVal (or other macro based on this) will function as a selector:
when a page's lang variable is pt_BR, and you use
GetLangVal("Overview"), it will return pt_BR/Overview. If the lang
variable is in fr_FR, it will return the French page (fr_FR/Overview),
if the variable don't exist, it will return the default "Overview").
A good solution, or another difficult and bad idea? :)
