What is in Drupal 6 for multilanguage support:
- "locales" are replaced by "languages" (we know a lot more about languages: their native names, direction (RTL or LTR), languages can be weighted, we use the new BCP 47 language codes, etc)
Can you provide a link to the discussion about this? Personally, I find that the above makes no sense. Locales are per-culture, languages are... per-language. Localisation is more than just translating, it's also about improving useability for a given locale (using colour codes and symbols familiar to locale comes to mind). Also, locale codes are partly defined by language (language_LOCALE), so all the language stuff you know about, you'd still know about given a locale. (I recall localisation being brought up for the issue regarding "* Required", which would, IIRC, be an excellent case for an argument of localisation vs. pure translation.) But, well, if you can link me to the discussion, I might be convinced it was a good move. :) -- Frederik 'Freso' S. Olesen <http://freso.dk/>
