Most of the texts can be displayed in different languages.

All text is stored in XML-Language-Files.

XML file format

Example code:

<website>
<text key="_this_language_short">en</text>
<text key="_this_language_name">english</text>
<text key="_this_language_en">english</text>
...
</website>

The file must start end end with a <website>-Tag. Each text has a KEY-name and a content:

<text key="this_language_name">english</text>

Note: For some tags (e.g: mail_message), the linebreaks will be preserved by the program.

specials in the content

Only the following tags will work!

• Link:

To integrate a weblink to the content, enter a <link>-Tag and include TARGET, TO and the text to be displayed

example:

<link><target>_blank</target><to>http://www.scoutlink.net</to>ScoutLink</link>

That example will be converted to:

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.scoutlink.net">ScoutLink</a>

• Bold:

Use Tags like <b> (or <strong>) as usual.

• Line break:

Use <br /> exact with the slash in XML-format!

Real line breaks are displayed in the content of

• error messages, e.g. login_error
• mails

ToDo

Possible additional i18n:

• countries: new cols in db-table "countries"
• longer and better "info texts" about JOTA and JOTI
